मनोरथस्स्यादिति चिन्तयामि तथापि बुद्ध्या च वितर्कयामि।किं कारणं तस्य हि नास्ति रूपं सुव्यक्तरूपश्च वदत्ययं माम्।।।।
manorathaḥ syād iti cintayāmi tathāpi buddhyā ca vitarkayāmi |
kiṁ kāraṇaṁ tasya hi nāsti rūpaṁ suvyaktarūpaś ca vadaty ayaṁ mām ||
মই ভাবোঁ: “সম্ভৱত এইটো মনৰ মাত্ৰ মনোৰথ।” তথাপি বুদ্ধিৰে বিচাৰ কৰোঁ—কাৰণ কি? মনোৰথৰ ত কোনো ৰূপ নাই; কিন্তু এইজন সুস্পষ্ট ৰূপধাৰী হৈ মোক কথা কৈছে।
