अनात्मन्यात्मता सैषा सैषा वस्तुन्यवस्तुता ।
अविचारेण वै जाता विचारेण क्षयं गता ॥ १७ ॥

anātmanyātmatā saiṣā saiṣā vastunyavastutā |
avicāreṇa vai jātā vicāreṇa kṣayaṃ gatā || 17 ||

To take what is not the self for self, is equal to the taking of an unreality for reality; want of reason produces this mistake, but right reason removes the fallacy.
