उपलम्भकरो नाशो जन्मनस्तस्य वा कुतः ।
अथ चैनं सदा सन्तं नित्यं नष्टं च वेत्सि वा ॥ १४ ॥

upalambhakaro nāśo janmanastasya vā kutaḥ |
atha cainaṃ sadā santaṃ nityaṃ naṣṭaṃ ca vetsi vā || 14 ||

Destruction is not the giver of life to destruction, nor is it a giver of life to perishable things; hence intellect is the giver of light to all: but you may call whatever you like the best.
