असद्वापि यदत्यन्तं वृद्धिः स्यात्तस्य कीदृशी ।
वृद्धेरभावे हर्षस्य कः प्रसङ्गो महामते ॥ ४१ ॥

asadvāpi yadatyantaṃ vṛddhiḥ syāttasya kīdṛśī |
vṛddherabhāve harṣasya kaḥ prasaṅgo mahāmate || 41 ||

If the unreality can never come to existence, it cannot have its growth also. What cause is there of our sorrow for their want of growth or existence?
