निश्चयोऽन्तःप्ररूढो यः संपन्नोऽभ्यसनं विना ।
नाशमायाति लोकेऽस्मिन्न कदाचन कस्यचित् ॥ २० ॥

niścayo'ntaḥprarūḍho yaḥ saṃpanno'bhyasanaṃ vinā |
nāśamāyāti loke'sminna kadācana kasyacit || 20 ||

This mistaken impression of the reality of the world, is never to be effaced without the knowledge of its unreality, derived from the sastras, and the assuetude of thinking it so.
