हेम्नीव कटकादित्वं संसारोदरकोटरः ।
चिच्चमत्कार एवायमविकल्पनसंक्षयः ॥ २१ ॥

hemnīva kaṭakāditvaṃ saṃsārodarakoṭaraḥ |
ciccamatkāra evāyamavikalpanasaṃkṣayaḥ || 21 ||

It is as the sight of the forms of ornaments, in the same substance of gold; and the vault of the world, is as full of ever changing wonders, as the changeful and wondrous thoughts of the mind. Wherefore it is the cessation of thought, that causes the extinction of the world.
