कचितं किंचिदेवेह वस्तुतस्तु न किंचन ।
स्वयं सत्यं स्वादयन्ते द्वैतं चित्परमाणवः ॥ ५३ ॥

kacitaṃ kiṃcideveha vastutastu na kiṃcana |
svayaṃ satyaṃ svādayante dvaitaṃ citparamāṇavaḥ || 53 ||

All that is displayed in this (outer) world, is in reality nothing at all; and yet do these living beings, though possessing the particles of intellect in them, erroneously conceive the duality of an extraneous existence.
