Sanskrit Text

अव्यक्तप्रकृतिरयं कलाशरीरः; सूक्ष्मात्मा क्षणत्रुटिशो निमेषरोमा ऋत्वास्यः समबलशुक्लकृष्णनेत्रो; मासाङ्गो द्रवति वयोहयो नराणाम्

English Translation

The life, of every man, is like a horse. The nature of that horse unmanifest. The elements from its body. Its nature is highly subtile. Kshanas, and Trutis, and Nimeshas are the hair on its body. The twilight's form its shoulderjoints. The lighted and the dark fortnights form its two equally powerful eyes. Months are its other limbs. That horse is running incessantly.
