बोधाद्गलितदृश्यस्य द्रष्टुः सत्तेव भासते ।
अबुद्धे कटके स्वस्य हेम्नोऽकटकता यथा ॥ ७३ ॥

bodhādgalitadṛśyasya draṣṭuḥ satteva bhāsate |
abuddhe kaṭake svasya hemno'kaṭakatā yathā || 73 ||

When the viewer perceives the unreality of the visibles by the light of his understanding, he then comes to see the true reality. So by retracting the mind from viewing the figure of the jewel, one comes to see the nature of its gold only.
