जडचेतनभावादिशब्दार्थश्रीर्न विद्यते ।
अनिर्देश्यपदे पत्रलतादीव महामरौ ॥ ३६ ॥

jaḍacetanabhāvādiśabdārthaśrīrna vidyate |
anirdeśyapade patralatādīva mahāmarau || 36 ||

The terms inert and sensitive are therefore meaningless, in their application to things subsisting in the same divine spirit; and it is like attributing fruits and flowers to the arbors of a barren land. The barren waste refers to the vacuum of the divine mind, and its arbours to its unsubstantial ideas, which are neither inert nor sentient like the fruits or flowers of those trees.
