Verse 4.1.16

वार्बुद्बुदमिवाभोगि शून्यमन्तःस्फुरद्वपुः ।
रसात्मकं चाप्यरसमविच्छिन्नक्षयोदयम् ॥ १६ ॥

vārbudbudamivābhogi śūnyamantaḥsphuradvapuḥ |
rasātmakaṃ cāpyarasamavicchinnakṣayodayam || 16 ||

Like the bubble of water, it seems as something substantial to sight; but in reality all hollow within; and though appearing as juicy, it is without any moisture at all.
