yataḥkutaściducchrāyaṃ gandharvapuravanmanaḥ |
bhrāntimātraṃ tanotīdaṃ jagadākhyaṃ svajṛmbhaṇam || 30 ||

From whatever cause it may have sprung, the world resembles a city rising to view in a vision; just as the thoughts and ideas appearing before the mirror of the mind, from some source of which we know nothing.
