प्रशान्ताज्ञाननीहारं विज्ञानशरदम्बरम् ।
समुत्कीर्णमिव स्तम्भे चित्रं भित्ताविवोदितम् ॥ २७ ॥

praśāntājñānanīhāraṃ vijñānaśaradambaram |
samutkīrṇamiva stambhe citraṃ bhittāvivoditam || 27 ||

It is better to dwell in the clear sky of the autumnal (atmosphere of) philosophy, after subsidence of the frost of ignorance, than to view at this world, which is no more than an image at a post or a picture upon the wall.
