किमज्ञत्वाज्जगज्जातं जगतोऽथ किमज्ञता ।
विचार्यापीति नो विद्म एकत्वादलमेतयोः ॥ ८ ॥

kimajñatvājjagajjātaṃ jagato'tha kimajñatā |
vicāryāpīti no vidma ekatvādalametayoḥ || 8 ||

Whether this world is a creation of our ignorance, or whether it is ignorance itself, is what we cannot ascertain by our reasoning; because there being but one simple entity alone, there is no possibility of the co-existence of the duality.
