प्रेक्ष्यमाणं च तन्नास्ति किलाहंत्वं कदाचन ।
एतावदेव तज्ज्ञानमनेनैव प्रदह्यते ॥ ३ ॥

prekṣyamāṇaṃ ca tannāsti kilāhaṃtvaṃ kadācana |
etāvadeva tajjñānamanenaiva pradahyate || 3 ||

The visibles are not existent, nor is I or thou (i.e. the subjective or objective) ever a positive reality, and this fallacy of their positivity is wholly burnt away by the knowledge of tajjnana or their identity with God.
