इदं वस्त्विति संवेगमाहुः कल्पनमुत्तमाः ।
नभोर्थभावनं तस्य संकल्पत्याग उच्यते ॥ ५ ॥

idaṃ vastviti saṃvegamāhuḥ kalpanamuttamāḥ |
nabhorthabhāvanaṃ tasya saṃkalpatyāga ucyate || 5 ||

The idea of any thing in the world as something in reality, is said to be mere imaginary by the best and wisest of men; but the belief of all things as an empty nothing, displaces the error of thought from the mind. Since all things are reduced to and return to nothing, it is this alone which is the ever lasting something.
