जीवोऽन्तरेव स्फुरति तैलसंविद्यथा तिले ।
शीतसंविद्धिम इव स्नेहसंविद्यथा घृते ॥ २३ ॥

jīvo'ntareva sphurati tailasaṃvidyathā tile |
śītasaṃviddhima iva snehasaṃvidyathā ghṛte || 23 ||

Life lies latent in the inner heart, as the liquid oil resides in the sesamum seed; it lies as dormant in the interior part, as frigidity within the frost, and fluidity in the clarified butter.
