The Vision of Śiva4.103

4.103
मनसोऽभिन्नकालत्वात् स्मृतिज्ञानमथोच्यते । प्रारब्धश्चासमाप्तश्च वर्तमानः क्रियामनु ॥१०३॥
manaso'bhinnakālatvāt smṛtijñānamathocyate | prārabdhaścāsamāptaśca vartamānaḥ kriyāmanu
— of the mind ; — because of (its) non-difference in time ; — the cognition that is memory ; — then ; — is spoken of ; — begun ; — and not completed ; — present, ongoing ; — following upon the action

(If you say) memory-cognition is spoken of because the mind is not (truly) different in time (from the past) — (consider that) an action, begun and not yet completed, is (called) present in (the sequence) following upon the action (so time-unity is what underlies memory).
