Verse 7.188.3

कलनस्यास्य नामानि बहूनि रघुनन्दन ।
श्रृणु तानि विचित्राणि चेत्योन्मुखचिदात्मनः ॥ ३ ॥

kalanasyāsya nāmāni bahūni raghunandana |
śrṛṇu tāni vicitrāṇi cetyonmukhacidātmanaḥ || 3 ||

The inclination of the self-intelligent or subjective soul, towards thinkable objects of thought, garbs it under a great many fictitious names or epithets, which you shall now hear me, O Rama, relate to you in all their varieties.
