Verse 7.9.12

एवं जगत्त्वमहमित्यवबोधरूपमाभासमात्रमुदितं न च नोदितं च ।
अर्कांशुजालरचनानगराभमत्र कुड्यादि सत्यमिदमस्ति न खे लतेव ॥ १२ ॥

evaṃ jagattvamahamityavabodharūpamābhāsamātramuditaṃ na ca noditaṃ ca |
arkāṃśujālaracanānagarābhamatra kuḍyādi satyamidamasti na khe lateva || 12 ||

Thus the knowledge of the objective world, and that of the subjective ego, are mere reflections of the ideas in the mind, which appear and disappear by turns; just as a city is gilded or shaded by the falling and failing of the sunbeams thereon; but in this case city houses are realities, but the apparitions of the mind, are as baseless as garden in the empty sky.
