Verse 6.51.13

असन्मयमविद्याया रूपमेव तदेव हि ।
यद्वीक्षिता सती नूनं नश्यत्येव न दृश्यते ॥ १३ ॥

asanmayamavidyāyā rūpameva tadeva hi |
yadvīkṣitā satī nūnaṃ naśyatyeva na dṛśyate || 13 ||

The unreal or negative idea of ignorance, has also a form, as inane as it is nothing; look at her and she becomes a nullity, touch her and she perishes and vanishes from sight.
