आस्वादयति यं भावं चिद्धातुर्गगनात्मकः ।
लब्धः सर्गः प्रलापेन क्षीबः क्षुब्धतया यथा ॥ ४ ॥

āsvādayati yaṃ bhāvaṃ ciddhāturgaganātmakaḥ |
labdhaḥ sargaḥ pralāpena kṣībaḥ kṣubdhatayā yathā || 4 ||

The etherial soul relishes things according to its taste, and the intellect entertains the idea of whatever it thinks upon; the ignorant soul begets the idea of creation, as a giddy man sees many shapes in his intoxication.
