Verse 6.3.1

श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
भाविभूरितरङ्गाणां पयोवृन्दमिवाम्बुधौ ।
या चिद्वहत्यनन्तानि जगन्त्यनघ सो भवान् ॥ १ ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
bhāvibhūritaraṅgāṇāṃ payovṛndamivāmbudhau |
yā cidvahatyanantāni jagantyanagha so bhavān || 1 ||

Vasishtha continued:—As the countless waves, which are continually rising and falling in the Sea, are no other than its water assuming temporary forms to view; so the intellect exhibits the forms of endless worlds heaving in itself; and know, O sinless Rama! this intellect to be thy very self or soul.
