अस्मिन्नसन्मये देहगृहे शून्ये समुत्थिते ।
सत्तामुपगते मिथ्याबालकल्पितयक्षवत् ॥ ३८ ॥

asminnasanmaye dehagṛhe śūnye samutthite |
sattāmupagate mithyābālakalpitayakṣavat || 38 ||

The knowledge of one's entity or egoism, in the unsubstantial abode of his body, is like the sight of a spirit by boys in the empty space of a house or in empty air.
