Verse 5.39.15

चेतनीयोन्मुखी चेत्यं चिन्मनस्तामुपाययौ ।
द्वित्वं मुकुरसंक्रान्ता मुखश्रीरिव राघव ॥ १५ ॥

cetanīyonmukhī cetyaṃ cinmanastāmupāyayau |
dvitvaṃ mukurasaṃkrāntā mukhaśrīriva rāghava || 15 ||

The intellect desiring to know the objects, and relying in the reflections of the senses, takes the name of the mind; as the reflection of the face in the mirror, refracts itself again to the visual organ.
