श्रीराम उवाच ।
वाचि ये ये प्रवर्तन्ते ताननादृत्य दोषकान् ।
प्रतियोगिव्यवच्छेदिपूर्वकान्वद को भवान् ॥ ४२ ॥

śrīrāma uvāca |
vāci ye ye pravartante tānanādṛtya doṣakān |
pratiyogivyavacchedipūrvakānvada ko bhavān || 42 ||

Rama rejoined:—You sir, that disregard every thing that is expressed by words, and regard these as imperfect and defective symbols of their originals; must tell me now, what you mean by your “privation of representation” and what you are your[self].*
