22. V. On whatever object the Jiva sets his mind with conviction and keeps it unperturbed through love etc., he attains to a form similar to that of the object.

D. The Jiva attains a form similar to that of the object characterised by the same qualities as he contemplates it with whether through feelings of love, hatred or fear, i. e., he attains to a lovely form when he contemplates the object through love, or a hateful or miserable form if he contemplates it with the feelings of hatred and so on.
