ततोऽहं बुद्धवान्रूपं तनु तेजःकणाकृति ।
तदेव भावयन्पश्चाद्गतोऽहं स्थूलतामिव ॥ १९ ॥

tato'haṃ buddhavānrūpaṃ tanu tejaḥkaṇākṛti |
tadeva bhāvayanpaścādgato'haṃ sthūlatāmiva || 19 ||

Then with my subtile body of pure intelligence, I thought myself as a spark of fire;and by thinking so for a long time, I became at length of the form of a gross body. (The angels are to be of a bright and fiery body (muri and atashi), and the human body to be of a gross and earthy substance.
