यद्यत्कचति सद्रूपं स्वाङ्गं सर्वात्मनः स्वतः ।
तदभ्यस्तार्थसादृश्यात्स्मृतिरित्युच्यते बुधैः ॥ २५ ॥

yadyatkacati sadrūpaṃ svāṅgaṃ sarvātmanaḥ svataḥ |
tadabhyastārthasādṛśyātsmṛtirityucyate budhaiḥ || 25 ||

Any idea that rises of itself in the mind, becomes so impressed in it, by its being fostered for any length of time; that any other thing bearing resemblance thereto, passes for an object of our memory.
