अत्युग्रैः पुण्यपापैः स्वैर्वा महात्मभिरीक्षिते ।
लक्ष्याण्यप्यन्यथा सन्ति नृणां चित्कल्पनावशात् ॥ १२ ॥

atyugraiḥ puṇyapāpaiḥ svairvā mahātmabhirīkṣite |
lakṣyāṇyapyanyathā santi nṛṇāṃ citkalpanāvaśāt || 12 ||

So it happens with great souls also, to see the sights both of good grace and affright, according to the measure of their merit or guilt in this life; and thus thousands of hopeful and hideous shapes, float about in the imaginations of men, owing to the purity and depravity of their natures.
