दृश्यबुद्धिपरावृत्तौ सममेतदनन्तरम् ।
हेम्नीव कटकादित्वं परिज्ञातं विनश्यति ॥ ६३ ॥

dṛśyabuddhiparāvṛttau samametadanantaram |
hemnīva kaṭakāditvaṃ parijñātaṃ vinaśyati || 63 ||

By reverting the cognition of visibles, to the recognition of their essence (tanmatra) in the invisible plenum, we get rid of our error of the reality of the formal world, as we do of the ornament in the material gold. (i.e. The substances of gold is the material cause of the formal and changeable jewels). Gloss. The knowledge of the consequent (parak) and antecedent (pratyak), must blend in that of the sameness (samani) of both (yugupat), the internal (antar) and external.
