अहंभावनमेवाहुः कल्पनं कल्पनाविदः ।
नभोर्थभावनं तस्य संकल्पत्याग उच्यते ॥ ३ ॥

ahaṃbhāvanamevāhuḥ kalpanaṃ kalpanāvidaḥ |
nabhorthabhāvanaṃ tasya saṃkalpatyāga ucyate || 3 ||

The idea of one's egoism (or his personality in own person), is said to be an idealism by idealists; but it is the conception of the signification of the word air or vacuity (which is the essence of the Deity), that is represented as the repudiation of that erroneous notion.
