स्फुरन्ति हि जडक्रीडाश्चिच्चमत्कारचापलात् ।
अचापलात्प्रतीयन्ते तरङ्गा इव वारिणि ॥ ४ ॥

sphuranti hi jaḍakrīḍāściccamatkāracāpalāt |
acāpalātpratīyante taraṅgā iva vāriṇi || 4 ||

All insensible and material bodies, are moved by the miraculous power of the intellect or mind; which being unmoved of itself gives motion to bodies, as the still waters of the sea gives rise to the waves.
