नेदं नेदमिति व्यर्थप्रलापैर्नोपशाम्यति ।
संकल्पजनकैर्दृश्यव्याधिः प्रत्युत वर्धते ॥ २४ ॥

nedaṃ nedamiti vyarthapralāpairnopaśāmyati |
saṃkalpajanakairdṛśyavyādhiḥ pratyuta vardhate || 24 ||

To say that the soul is neither this nor that (nedam-nedam) is but false logomachy, which cannot come to an end. The discrimination of alternatives serves only to increase the ardour for the visibles.
