तस्मान्नास्त्येव दृश्योऽर्थः कुतोऽतो द्रष्टृदृश्यधीः ।
निमिषेणैव जीवस्य मृतिमोहादनन्तरम् ॥ ४४ ॥

tasmānnāstyeva dṛśyo'rthaḥ kuto'to draṣṭṛdṛśyadhīḥ |
nimiṣeṇaiva jīvasya mṛtimohādanantaram || 44 ||

Hence there being no visible object in reality (except a false appearance of such), how can the observer have any idea of the visible, which loses its delusion at the moment of his death.
