कथार्थप्रतिभानात्म न क्वचित्स्थितमस्थितम् ।
निःसारमप्यतीवान्तःसारं स्वप्नाचलोपमम् ॥ ८ ॥

kathārthapratibhānātma na kvacitsthitamasthitam |
niḥsāramapyatīvāntaḥsāraṃ svapnācalopamam || 8 ||

It is like the romantic realms with their picturesque scenes in the fancies of poets, which are nowhere in nature but it seems to be solid and thick within, without any pith or solidity in it, as a thing in an empty dream.
