गगने मानसं स्पन्दं जगद्विद्धि न वस्तु तत् ।
मिथ्याज्ञानपिशाचस्य स्पन्ददर्शनमाकृति ॥ ३६ ॥

gagane mānasaṃ spandaṃ jagadviddhi na vastu tat |
mithyājñānapiśācasya spandadarśanamākṛti || 36 ||

Know the phenomena of the revolving worlds, to be no more in reality, than mere resultants of the vibrations of the mind, in the empty space of the soul; and as the motions and gestures of the fancied hobgoblins, to the sight of children.
