असत्याद्यत्समुत्पन्नं स्मृत्या नाम तदप्यसत् ।
मृगतृष्णातरङ्गिण्यां तरङ्गोऽपि न सद्यतः ॥ २० ॥

asatyādyatsamutpannaṃ smṛtyā nāma tadapyasat |
mṛgatṛṣṇātaraṅgiṇyāṃ taraṅgo'pi na sadyataḥ || 20 ||

But these images, which are derived from the remembrance of unreal objects of the world, are as unreal as those objects which cast their reflections in the intellect; just as the waves rising in the river of a mirage, are as unreal as the mirage itself.
