न ज्ञेयमर्थतोऽस्तीह हेम्नीव कटकादिता ।
भ्रान्तिमात्रादृते सा च शाम्यत्यस्मरणेन ते ॥ १९ ॥

na jñeyamarthato'stīha hemnīva kaṭakāditā |
bhrāntimātrādṛte sā ca śāmyatyasmaraṇena te || 19 ||

There is nothing (no ego) here, that is known to us in its reality; all our knowledge is erroneous as that of an ornament in gold (and springs from the general custom of calling it so), so is our knowledge of the ego which we know not what, and may be lost by our forgetfulness of it.
