तरङ्गाः सलिले येऽपि तोये शैलस्य ते समाः ।
शशश्रृङ्गसमः सोऽपि यस्य सत्यः शशाङ्कुरः ॥ ९ ॥

taraṅgāḥ salile ye'pi toye śailasya te samāḥ |
śaśaśrṛṅgasamaḥ so'pi yasya satyaḥ śaśāṅkuraḥ || 9 ||

These productions are likened to the waves of waters in the sea, and mirage to the progeny of a barren woman, and the horns of a hare—all which are nil and not in being. They are all as negative as the water on the mountaintop, and as the barley corn growing on the head of a hare.
