Verse 5.17.12

असदभ्युदिते विश्वे सतीवासति संस्थिते ।
त्वयि तत्तामतिगते तृष्णायाः संभवः कुतः ॥ १२ ॥

asadabhyudite viśve satīvāsati saṃsthite |
tvayi tattāmatigate tṛṣṇāyāḥ saṃbhavaḥ kutaḥ || 12 ||

The phenomenon of the world is an unreality, and every thing here is unreal, that appears real in thy sight; knowing then thyself to be beyond all these, what earthly thing is there that thou canst crave for?
