Verse 3.110.54

नरत्वादेति नारीत्वं पितृत्वात्पुत्रतां गतः ।
यथा क्षिप्रं प्रति नरः स्वसंकल्पात्तथा मनः ॥ ५४ ॥

naratvādeti nārītvaṃ pitṛtvātputratāṃ gataḥ |
yathā kṣipraṃ prati naraḥ svasaṃkalpāttathā manaḥ || 54 ||

As the idea of man includes that of a woman also, and the idea of father comprises that of the son likewise; so the mind includes the wish, and the wish is accompanied by its action with every person.
