पयस्तरङ्गयोरैक्यं यथैव परमार्थतः ।
नाविद्यात्वं न विद्यात्वमिह किंचन विद्यते ॥ १८ ॥

payastaraṅgayoraikyaṃ yathaiva paramārthataḥ |
nāvidyātvaṃ na vidyātvamiha kiṃcana vidyate || 18 ||

As the water and waves are identic in their true sense, and there is no material difference between them; so both knowledge and ignorance relating to the same thing, and expressing either its presence or absence, there can be no essential difference in their significance.
