puruṣo 'vikṛtātmaiva svanirbhāsam acetanam /
manaḥ karoti sānnidhyād upādhiḥ sphaṭikaṃ yathā //
The puruṣa, indeed unmodified in nature, by its proximity / makes the unconscious mind reflect itself, just as an adjunct [colours] crystal.
The person, itself unchanged, by its mere presence makes the unconscious mind reflect it, as a coloured object does a crystal.
