न किंचिदपि दृश्येऽस्मिन्सत्यं तेन हतात्मना ।
चित्रं दग्धशरीरेण जनता विप्रलभ्यते ॥ ५७ ॥

na kiṃcidapi dṛśye'sminsatyaṃ tena hatātmanā |
citraṃ dagdhaśarīreṇa janatā vipralabhyate || 57 ||

It is certain that whatever we see here is unreal, and yet it is a wonder, that the mass of men are led to deception by the vile body, which has injured the cause of the soul.
