न शाम्यत्येव तच्चित्ते शाम्यत्येव तु दृश्यते ॥ १० ॥

pūrva pradhvaṃsanānyonyābhāvairyadupaśāmyati |
na śāmyatyeva taccitte śāmyatyeva tu dṛśyate || 10 ||

The knowledge of the visible world, is destroyed by the destruction of all its causalities; but the causes continuing in the mind, will cause the visibles to appear to the view even after their outward extinction.
