Verse 7.1.4

पदार्थरसमेवाहुः कल्पनं कल्पनाविदः ।
नभोर्थभावनं तस्य संकल्पत्याग उच्यते ॥ ४ ॥

padārtharasamevāhuḥ kalpanaṃ kalpanāvidaḥ |
nabhorthabhāvanaṃ tasya saṃkalpatyāga ucyate || 4 ||

The idealists represent the sense of all substances, as a creation of the imagination, while it is the idea of a pure vacuum, which they say to be the resignation of this erroneous conception.
