Verse 6.114.23

दृश्यं त्वपरमार्थेन प्रयाति शतशाखताम् ।
जलमूर्मितरङ्गादिकलनार्हं परिस्फुरन् ॥ २३ ॥

dṛśyaṃ tvaparamārthena prayāti śataśākhatām |
jalamūrmitaraṅgādikalanārhaṃ parisphuran || 23 ||

When we do not consider the visibles in their true colour, but take them in their false colour as they present themselves to view; we find them to ramify themselves into a thousand shapes, as we see the same sea-water in its diversities of the various forms of foam and froth, of bubbles and billows, of waves and surges, and of tides and whirlpools.
