स्वमेवान्यतया दृष्ट्वा चितिर्दृश्यतया वपुः ।
निर्भागाप्येकभागाभं भ्रमतीव भ्रमातुरा ॥ ४० ॥

svamevānyatayā dṛṣṭvā citirdṛśyatayā vapuḥ |
nirbhāgāpyekabhāgābhaṃ bhramatīva bhramāturā || 40 ||

Thus it is by intellection of itself as the other form, that the noumenal assumes the shape of the phenomenal world; and being indivisible in itself, it wanders through the labyrinth of errors with its other part of the mind.
