Verse 3.7.34

प्रमार्जयामि ते दृश्यं बोधे मृगजलं यथा ।
दृश्याभावे द्रष्टृता च शाम्येद्बोधोऽवशिष्यते ॥ ३४ ॥

pramārjayāmi te dṛśyaṃ bodhe mṛgajalaṃ yathā |
dṛśyābhāve draṣṭṛtā ca śāmyedbodho'vaśiṣyate || 34 ||

Then I will purge away this false view of the visibles from your understanding, like the delusive mirage from one's sight. This absence of the view will extinguish your sense of being the viewer, and restore you to your intelligence alone.
