अष्टौ षष्ठं द्विषं मित्रं रज्जुं सर्पं स्थलं जलम् ।
चन्द्रौ द्वौ कुरुते चित्तगतो मोहोऽमृतं विषम् ॥ २२ ॥

aṣṭau ṣaṣṭhaṃ dviṣaṃ mitraṃ rajjuṃ sarpaṃ sthalaṃ jalam |
candrau dvau kurute cittagato moho'mṛtaṃ viṣam || 22 ||

Such is the case with the deluded mind, that it mistakes the eight for six and a foe for a friend;it sees the serpent in the rope and views the desert land as the watery expanse, it drinks the poison for the nectar and spies another moon in the sky in the reflection of the true one.
