श्रृण्वेतत्किमसंबन्धं कथमेतदवास्तवम् ।
विपरीतो बोध एष वक्तुः श्रोतुश्च मोहकृत् ॥ २२ ॥

śrṛṇvetatkimasaṃbandhaṃ kathametadavāstavam |
viparīto bodha eṣa vaktuḥ śrotuśca mohakṛt || 22 ||

Hear me tell you, how unaccordant it is to right reason and how far removed from truth. It is a false supposition, and leading both the preacher and hearer of such a doctrine to great error and egregious mistake.
