Verse 7.168.38

श्रीराम उवाच ।
एवं स्थिते हे भगवन्बुद्धिसंस्कारतः स्मृतिः ।
इति किं प्राप्यते ब्रूहि संबुद्धा यदि न स्मृतिः ॥ ३८ ॥

śrīrāma uvāca |
evaṃ sthite he bhagavanbuddhisaṃskārataḥ smṛtiḥ |
iti kiṃ prāpyate brūhi saṃbuddhā yadi na smṛtiḥ || 38 ||

Rama said:—If it is so sir, that all these powers are the spontaneous growth of chance, how can the mental power of memory be produced on a sudden, when it is well known to be the product of remembrance or former impressions in the mind. Please explain me this.
