असम्यक्प्रेक्षणान्मोहाच्चेतःसत्तां गृहीतवत् ।
संमोहबीजकणिकां तमोऽर्कादिव दृश्यते ॥ ४४ ॥

asamyakprekṣaṇānmohāccetaḥsattāṃ gṛhītavat |
saṃmohabījakaṇikāṃ tamo'rkādiva dṛśyate || 44 ||

It is error and want of full investigation; that make us mistake the mind for a distinct entity; it is the seed of all our ignorance, which casts us in darkness from the sunlight of reason.
