या यथा स्वाङ्गभूतास्मादुदिता प्रतिभा प्रभा ।
तावत्सेह तथैवास्ते न हता यावदन्यया ॥ ४ ॥

yā yathā svāṅgabhūtāsmāduditā pratibhā prabhā |
tāvatseha tathaivāste na hatā yāvadanyayā || 4 ||

Whatever issues from its source in any shape, retains its original form unless it is converted to and restrained in any other form; so the aerial thoughts of the vacuous mind are always aerial, unless they are drawn in painting or exhibited in another form.
