स्वतश्चितिघनोऽचित्त्वाच्चिद्भानमिदमात्मनः ।
आतिवाहिकदेहाभं क्रमेणानेन चेतति ॥ १६ ॥

svataścitighano'cittvāccidbhānamidamātmanaḥ |
ātivāhikadehābhaṃ krameṇānena cetati || 16 ||

The compactness of the Divine Mind, which comprehends all images or ideas in itself, imparts them partly in all individual minds, which are but parts of itself, and which are made to think likewise.
