Verse 4.18.17

तेष्वप्यन्तस्थसर्गौघाः कदलीदलपीठवत् ।
सर्वसर्गान्तरादूरं पत्रपीवरवृत्तिमत् ॥ १७ ॥

teṣvapyantasthasargaughāḥ kadalīdalapīṭhavat |
sarvasargāntarādūraṃ patrapīvaravṛttimat || 17 ||

The influence of the Divine spirit, is as cool as the cooling shade of a plantain arbour. It is of its own nature; and is as unchangeable as the pith of the plantain tree, notwithstanding the changes in all its outer coats and coverings.
