Verse 3.42.6

तथाऽज्ञस्य पुणुराजगनागेश्वमेखसुर् ।
इयं दृश्यदृगेवास्ति न त्वन्या परमाथदृक् ॥ ६ ॥

tathā'jñasya puṇurājaganāgeśvamekhasur |
iyaṃ dṛśyadṛgevāsti na tvanyā paramāthadṛk || 6 ||

As the ignorant view a city, a house, a hill and an elephant, as they are presented before him; so the visibles are all taken only as they are seen, and not what they really are.
