मिथःसंपन्नयोर्द्रष्ट्रदृश्ययोरेकसंख्ययोः ।
द्वयाभावे स्थितिं याते निर्वाणमवशिष्यते ॥ ३६ ॥

mithaḥsaṃpannayordraṣṭradṛśyayorekasaṃkhyayoḥ |
dvayābhāve sthitiṃ yāte nirvāṇamavaśiṣyate || 36 ||

Tell me also, how the viewer and the view (of these worlds) being both extinct, (as they are equally unreal in their nature), there remains their nirvana or absorption in the Deity without their personalities.
