अङ्गदत्वं यथा हेम्नि मृगनद्यां यथा जलम् ।
भित्तिर्यथा स्वप्नपुरे तथा द्रष्टरि दृश्यधीः ॥ ५१ ॥

aṅgadatvaṃ yathā hemni mṛganadyāṃ yathā jalam |
bhittiryathā svapnapure tathā draṣṭari dṛśyadhīḥ || 51 ||

But the visionary ideas of the visibles are as false and fleeting in the minds of their observers, as the form of a jewel in gold, and water in the mirage; and as wrong as the foundation of a castle in the air, and the view of a city in a dream.
