यथाम्भो रसतां वेत्ति शैत्यं वेत्ति यथा हिमम् ।
स्पन्दं वेत्ति यथा वायुस्तथैतद्वेत्ति शुद्धधीः ॥ १२ ॥

yathāmbho rasatāṃ vetti śaityaṃ vetti yathā himam |
spandaṃ vetti yathā vāyustathaitadvetti śuddhadhīḥ || 12 ||

As the water knows (retains) its fluidity, and the frost possesses its coldness; and as the air has its ventilation, so the enlightened mind knows and scans the whole world within itself.
