यद् वः संकल्पितं रूपं मनसा यस्य यादृशम् | तादृशं तादृशं सर्वे छन््दतो धारयिष्यथ,“तथा तुममेंसे जो-जो मनसे जैसा संकल्प करेगा, वह इच्छानुसार वैसा-वैसा ही रूप धारण कर सकेगा
yad vaḥ saṅkalpitaṃ rūpaṃ manasā yasya yādṛśam | tādṛśaṃ tādṛśaṃ sarve chandato dhārayiṣyatha ||
وَیشَمپایَن نے کہا— “تم میں سے ہر ایک جس طرح کا روپ دل میں ٹھان لے گا، اپنی مرضی کے مطابق ویسا ہی روپ اختیار کر سکے گا۔”

The verse highlights the potency of saṅkalpa (mental resolve): when a boon or power is granted, the mind’s intention becomes the determining cause for the form one can manifest—emphasizing disciplined will and purposeful choice.
In Vaiśampāyana’s narration, a boon-like assurance is being given to a group: each person will be able to take on whatever form they mentally conceive, according to their own desire.
