Sanskrit Text

यथा महान्ति भूतानि निवर्तन्ते गुणक्षये तथेन्द्रियाण्युपादाय बुद्धिर्मनसि वर्तते

English Translation

As upon the destruction of the attributes by which they are known, the fivefold great creatures are contracted into their subtile forms, so the Understanding may dwell in the mind alone, with the senses all withdrawn from their objects.
