Sanskrit Text

सेयं भावात्मिका भावांस्त्रीनेतान्नातिवर्तते सरितां सागरो भर्ता महावेलामिवोर्मिमान्

English Translation

The Understanding, however, whose chief function is to create elements, transcends those three states as the ocean, the king of rivers, stands against the powerful currents of the rivers that fall into it.
