दृश्ये सत्यस्ति वै द्रष्टा दृश्यं द्रष्टरि भासते ।
द्वयेन च विना नैकं नैकमप्यस्ति चानयोः ॥ ७४ ॥

dṛśye satyasti vai draṣṭā dṛśyaṃ draṣṭari bhāsate |
dvayena ca vinā naikaṃ naikamapyasti cānayoḥ || 74 ||

The visibles being present, there must be their viewers also to whose view they are apparent. It is the absence of both (the viewer and the view), and the knowledge of their unreality, that produce the belief of unity.
