नरोपाधिपुरं प्राप्तं चेतत्यक्षिपुटं नयत् ।
तत्तस्या नाक्षिचिज्जीवं नो जीवत्येव सर्गतः ॥ ५२ ॥

naropādhipuraṃ prāptaṃ cetatyakṣipuṭaṃ nayat |
tattasyā nākṣicijjīvaṃ no jīvatyeva sargataḥ || 52 ||

But man uses his eyes to view the outer and the reflected world (in disregard of his consciousness of the real); although the eyes do not form his living soul, nor did they exist at his creation and before his birth.
