नाहन्त्वं लभ्यते साधो बुद्ध्यालोके निरीक्षितम् ।
असदेव कुतोऽप्येतद्बालयक्ष इवोदितम् ॥ १७ ॥

nāhantvaṃ labhyate sādho buddhyāloke nirīkṣitam |
asadeva kuto'pyetadbālayakṣa ivoditam || 17 ||

He is neither I nor thou (the subjective or the objective); who is unknowable to the understanding, and invisible to the people in all the worlds; and yet He is represented as such and such, as false phantoms of the brain which presents themselves as ghosts to boys.
