स्वयमुत्पद्यते सा च संकल्पाद्व्योमवृक्षवत् ।
असंकल्पनमात्रेण भावनायां महामते ॥ ४१ ॥

svayamutpadyate sā ca saṃkalpādvyomavṛkṣavat |
asaṃkalpanamātreṇa bhāvanāyāṃ mahāmate || 41 ||

It is the contemplation of objects (sankalpa), that presents the phenomena to our view, like arbors in the empty sky; and it is their incogitancy (asankalpana), which effaces their images from the inward and outward sights.
