अतत्त्वज्ञानजातेयं संसारभ्रान्तिरातता ।
तत्त्वज्ञानात्क्षयं याति रज्ज्वामिव भुजङ्गधीः ॥ ३० ॥

atattvajñānajāteyaṃ saṃsārabhrāntirātatā |
tattvajñānātkṣayaṃ yāti rajjvāmiva bhujaṅgadhīḥ || 30 ||

It is want of true knowledge, that presents the false view of the world before us; but the knowledge of truth disperses the view; as the knowledge of the rope, dispels the fallacy of the snake in it.
