Verse 7.144.20

ततो वायाविवास्पन्दाश्चित्ते भावाः स्थिताः स्वतः ।
ते स्वतः संप्रवर्तन्ते कात्र संस्कारकर्तृता ॥ २० ॥

tato vāyāvivāspandāścitte bhāvāḥ sthitāḥ svataḥ |
te svataḥ saṃpravartante kātra saṃskārakartṛtā || 20 ||

These recent ideas fluctuate in the mind, as by the breath of the wind, and they occur and recur of themselves, without the agency of pristine impressions.
