मिथ्यैव मे विवल्गन्ति नीरूपा नयनादयः ।
अलातचक्रप्रतिमाः सर्परज्जुभ्रमोपमाः ॥ २२ ॥

mithyaiva me vivalganti nīrūpā nayanādayaḥ |
alātacakrapratimāḥ sarparajjubhramopamāḥ || 22 ||

It is in vain for the organs of sense, to display themselves to view, like the twirling of a firebrand and the appearance of a snake in the rope; since they have no essence of their own, and are of no use without the soul.
