Verse 5.91.74

इत्यन्तर्निश्चयो रूढः सम्यग्ज्ञानं विदुर्बुधाः ।
पूर्वं दृष्टमदृष्टं वा यदस्याः प्रतिभासते ॥ ७४ ॥

ityantarniścayo rūḍhaḥ samyagjñānaṃ vidurbudhāḥ |
pūrvaṃ dṛṣṭamadṛṣṭaṃ vā yadasyāḥ pratibhāsate || 74 ||

The inward certitude of the illusion of the world, is what is called the perfection of knowledge by the wise; and the knowledge of all things whether seen before or not, is equally a delusion of the mind.
