तुल्यकालावबुद्धेन स्वादुना कटुनापि चित् ।

tulyakālāvabuddhena svādunā kaṭunāpi cit |
samena samatāmeti madhunimbānubhūtivat || 96 ||

The understanding ever continues the same and unaltered, notwithstanding the great variety of its perceptions of innumerables of sense and thought: such as the different tastes of sweet and sour in honey and nimba fruit at the same time. (I.e. the varieties of mental perception and conception, make no change in the mind), as the reflection of various figures makes no change in the reflecting glass.
