तथैवेयं जगल्लक्ष्मीर्दुर्ज्ञानादवभासते ।
दृश्यते समया दृष्ट्या न यथा व्योम्नि पिच्छिका ॥ ४२ ॥

tathaiveyaṃ jagallakṣmīrdurjñānādavabhāsate |
dṛśyate samayā dṛṣṭyā na yathā vyomni picchikā || 42 ||

It is only the vitiated understanding that dwells upon the beauties of creation, as the vitiated eye sight looks upon the various tinges in the sky. But to the clear sighted understanding the one is as evanescent, as the other is to the clear sighted eye.
