श्रीराम उवाच ।
एकसंविन्मयाः सर्व एवैकवपुषोऽपि ते ।
विविधेच्छाः कथं ब्रह्मन्संपन्ना एकदेहिनः ॥ १ ॥

ekasaṃvinmayāḥ sarva evaikavapuṣo'pi te |
vividhecchāḥ kathaṃ brahmansaṃpannā ekadehinaḥ || 1 ||

Rama said:—Tell me sir, whether the different states and acts of the prince, relate particularly to any one part of his quadripartite body, or generally or severally to all and each part of himself; because it is equally impossible that all and every part should act the same part, as that the several parts of the same person, could act differently from the other.
