Verse 6.21.25

मत्संकल्पवशेनैव कल्पे कल्पे पुनः पुनः ।
अस्मिन्नेव गिरेः शृङ्गे तरुरित्थं भवत्ययम् ॥ २५ ॥

matsaṃkalpavaśenaiva kalpe kalpe punaḥ punaḥ |
asminneva gireḥ śṛṅge taruritthaṃ bhavatyayam || 25 ||

It is because of my firm desire that things are so fixed and allotted to my share, that they must so come to pass to my lot at each kalpa and over again, and that this tree must grow on the summit of this mountain, and I must have my nest in its hollow.
