सनितम्बस्तनी चित्रे न स्त्री स्त्रीधर्मिणी यथा ।
तथैवाकारचिन्तेयं कर्तुं योग्या न किंचन ॥ ३२ ॥

sanitambastanī citre na strī strīdharmiṇī yathā |
tathaivākāracinteyaṃ kartuṃ yogyā na kiṃcana || 32 ||

As a female form represented in a picture is no woman, and has not the power of doing any thing; so this avidya which presents us the shapes of our desired objects in the picture of the mind, can produce nothing in reality.
