अस्तं गतायां क्षीणायामस्यां ज्ञास्यसि राघव ॥ ३३ ॥

imāṃ kathamahaṃ hanmītyeṣā te'stu vicāraṇā |
astaṃ gatāyāṃ kṣīṇāyāmasyāṃ jñāsyasi rāghava || 33 ||

Let it be for thee to think only how thou shalt get rid of this unreality; for it is upon the disappearance of the unreality, that thou canst know the real truth.
