चिदाकाशात्मना बन्धस्त्वबन्धेनैव कल्पितः ।
कल्पितं कल्पितं वस्तु प्रतिकल्पनयान्यथा ॥ ४७ ॥

cidākāśātmanā bandhastvabandhenaiva kalpitaḥ |
kalpitaṃ kalpitaṃ vastu pratikalpanayānyathā || 47 ||

Man obstructs to himself the sight of the clear firmament of his intellect, by the mist of his doubts; but he thinks it as unobstructed by his error, and indulges the fancies of his imagination which tends the more to his error.
