Verse 6.73.4

चिदणोः कोशगं विश्वं विचारेण विलीयते ।
कायो वेतालकस्येव शिष्यते यत्पदं तु तत् ॥ ४ ॥

cidaṇoḥ kośagaṃ viśvaṃ vicāreṇa vilīyate |
kāyo vetālakasyeva śiṣyate yatpadaṃ tu tat || 4 ||

The world residing in the cell of the atomic intellect, ceases to subsist by itself upon right reasoning; so the body of a ghost exists in the fancy of boys only, and there remains nothing at last except the everlasting one.
