न मातृमेयमानानि नभसीव नवाङ्कुरः ।
न चिच्चेतनचेत्यादि नन्दने खदिरो यथा ॥ ७ ॥

na mātṛmeyamānāni nabhasīva navāṅkuraḥ |
na ciccetanacetyādi nandane khadiro yathā || 7 ||

The terms measure, measurer, and measurable are as negative in nature, as the privation of forest plants in the sky; and the words intellect, intellection and intelligible are as meaningless in themselves, as the absence of thorns and thistles in the garden of Paradise. (gloss. The intellect chit is the subjective intellection, chetana is chitta vritti—the property of chit, is the attribute, and the intelligible chetya is the object of thought. The meaning is that, there is no separate subject, object or attribute in nature, but they all blend in the essentiality of God, who is all in all. The words subjective, objective and attributive, are therefore mere human inventions, and so are the words thinker, thinking and the thought ([Sanskrit: mantri, mati, mantavya],) and knower, knowing and knowledge ([Sanskrit: viha, vuhvi, vihavya], and the ego, egoism and egotist.
