यथा गन्धर्वनगरं यथा वारि मरुस्थले ।
यत्तु नो दृश्यते किंचित्तन्न किंचिदिव स्थितम् ॥ १० ॥

yathā gandharvanagaraṃ yathā vāri marusthale |
yattu no dṛśyate kiṃcittanna kiṃcidiva sthitam || 10 ||

All this that you see nothing real (they are merely phenomenal and unsubstantial); they resemble the fairy castles in the air, and the water in the mirage of sandy deserts. So also anything which is not seen in reality, is accounted nothing in existence.
