译文
"Thought is greater than resolve. When a man thinks a thing over, then he resolves, then he considers in his mind, then he sets speech in motion, and directs it into a name. In a name the mantras merge, and in the mantras the rites.

The fifth rung: citta — thought as awareness, living attention. Before resolving one must think a thing over: cetayate — "he is aware", weighs, sees how matters stand. Resolve without reflection is a leap in the dark; the citta is the light by which a resolve chooses what to become.
The chain lengthens with every step: thought → resolve → mind → speech → name → mantras → rites. Sanatkumāra unfolds before Nārada the anatomy of an act, layer by layer — and every time it turns out that the "motor" is itself moved. This ascent by causes is the oldest of the roads to God: from effect to cause, until you meet the Causeless.
