लावणी प्रतिभाऽऽरूढा विन्ध्यापुष्कसचेतसि ।
विन्ध्यपुष्कससंविद्वाऽऽरूढा पार्थिवचेतसि ॥ २७ ॥

lāvaṇī pratibhā''rūḍhā vindhyāpuṣkasacetasi |
vindhyapuṣkasasaṃvidvā''rūḍhā pārthivacetasi || 27 ||

The notion of Lavana as settled in the minds of the Vindhyans, as the thoughts of these people rose in the mind of the king. (If it is possible for us to transfer our thoughts to one another, how much easier must it be for the superior instrumentality of dreams and revelations to do the same also. This is the yoga, whereby one man reads the mind of another). Again the same error taking possession of many minds all at once, proves the futility of common sense and universal belief being taken for certainty, hence the common belief of the reality of things, is the effect of universal delusion and error.
