Verse 5.19.41

अज्ञानविस्तीर्णमरौ विलोलं शुभाशुभस्यन्दमयैस्तरङ्गैः ।
सवासनानाममरीचिवारि परिस्फुरत्येतदनन्तरूपम् ॥ ४१ ॥

ajñānavistīrṇamarau vilolaṃ śubhāśubhasyandamayaistaraṅgaiḥ |
savāsanānāmamarīcivāri parisphuratyetadanantarūpam || 41 ||

Our notions and desires, paint and present these various changes before our sight; as the solar rays represent the water in the mirage. So our fancies working in the field of our ignorance, produce the erroneous conceptions, which roll on like currents in the eventful ocean of the world, with the waves of favorable and unfavorable events to us.
