एवंप्रायात्मिका सा चिद्बीजं संकल्पशाखिनः ।
अहंतां भावयत्यन्तः सैवेह भवति क्षणात् ॥ ४५ ॥

evaṃprāyātmikā sā cidbījaṃ saṃkalpaśākhinaḥ |
ahaṃtāṃ bhāvayatyantaḥ saiveha bhavati kṣaṇāt || 45 ||

After this the thinking principle or the mind, bursts out like a seed into a hundred sprouts of its wishes; and then by reflecting on its egoism, thinks as a living being at the very moment.
