स्वयं तावद्भवानेष जडो नास्त्यत्र संशयः ।
जडस्य कीदृक्कर्तृत्वं नृत्यन्तीह कथं शिलाः ॥ ३७ ॥

svayaṃ tāvadbhavāneṣa jaḍo nāstyatra saṃśayaḥ |
jaḍasya kīdṛkkartṛtvaṃ nṛtyantīha kathaṃ śilāḥ || 37 ||

That thou art an inert unreality, said I, is a truth beyond all doubt; and that the activity of an inactive nullity is as false, as the dancing of the ideal demon or of inert stones.
