असत्यप्रतिभासानामेतदेवाशु कारणम् ।
यदनालोकनं नाम समालोकक्षणक्षयम् ॥ १० ॥

asatyapratibhāsānāmetadevāśu kāraṇam |
yadanālokanaṃ nāma samālokakṣaṇakṣayam || 10 ||

The cause of the appearance of the unreal phenomena of the world to our sight, is no other than our want of right sight (i.e. our ignorance), which presents these phantoms to our view; and which disappear at a glance of our acute vision.
