Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
pattanābhaṁ mahiṣṭhaṁ syāt kṣodiṣṭhaṁ tu kuṭiravat |
citta-yugme ’tra bhāvasya dīpenebhena vopamā ||262||
The expansive heart is like a city and the small heart is like a hut. Bhāva is like a lamp or an elephant for these two types of hearts.
Purport
To offer another example, a grave, magnanimous heart is compared to a great city, and a soft heart to an insignificant cottage. There may be many lights, or even great elephants in the big city, but no one will take particular notice of them. But when such lights or elephants are seen near a small cottage, everyone can distinctly point them out.
