इदमस्मात्समुत्पन्नं मृगतृष्णाम्बुसंनिभम् ।
रूपं तु क्षणसंकल्पाद्द्वितीयेन्दुभ्रमोपमम् ॥ ४० ॥

idamasmātsamutpannaṃ mṛgatṛṣṇāmbusaṃnibham |
rūpaṃ tu kṣaṇasaṃkalpāddvitīyendubhramopamam || 40 ||

This world is produced from it, and likens to the waters of the mirage. It manifests itself in the forms of its fleeting thoughts, which are as false as the appearance of secondary moons in the vapours.
