अचित्त्वान्नास्ति मनसि संकल्पः ख इवाङ्कुरः ।
चित्त्वात्तु चेतसो विद्धि चितिरेवेह कल्पनम् ॥ ३७ ॥

acittvānnāsti manasi saṃkalpaḥ kha ivāṅkuraḥ |
cittvāttu cetaso viddhi citireveha kalpanam || 37 ||

It is the intellect which infuses in the mind the power of its option, volition, imagination and the like; because none of these can spring as a sprout in the mind, which is without intelligence and without an intelligent cause of it.
