Verse 6.31.6

न दृश्यदर्शनद्रष्ट्ररूपं तैलमिवोपले ।
न कर्तृकर्मकरणं दृशीन्दाविव कृष्णता ॥ ६ ॥

na dṛśyadarśanadraṣṭrarūpaṃ tailamivopale |
na kartṛkarmakaraṇaṃ dṛśīndāviva kṛṣṇatā || 6 ||

There is no spectacle, spectator (or sight of) of anything anywhere, unless it be a delusion, as that which appears oiliness in a stone; and there is no matter, making or work of any kind; unless it be a mistake like that of blackness in the moon.
