असत्यमेवासत्यं हि सत्यं सत्यं सदेव हि ।
सत्यासत्यमसद्विद्धि तदर्थं किं नु मुह्यसि ॥ ३१ ॥

asatyamevāsatyaṃ hi satyaṃ satyaṃ sadeva hi |
satyāsatyamasadviddhi tadarthaṃ kiṃ nu muhyasi || 31 ||

What is unreal is always unreal (and can never be a reality); and what is real is ever the same (and can never be an unreality); but that which is real and unreal at the same or different times, must be a false appearance, and not deserving our rejoicing or sorrowing at their presence or absence.
