श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
विद्धि चित्तं नरं देवमसुरं स्थावरं स्त्रियम् ।
नागं नगं पिशाचादि खगकीटादिराक्षसम् ॥ ३१ ॥

Vasishtha replied:—Know the intellect to abide alike in gods and demons, as well as in all men and women; it dwells also in imps and goblins, and in all beasts and birds, reptiles and insects, including the vegetables and all immovable things.
