रूपालोकमनःसत्ता ज्वालार्चिष्विव दण्डता ।
सत्योपि च न सन्त्येता भ्रान्तेश्चित्ताबला इव ॥ १३ ॥

rūpālokamanaḥsattā jvālārciṣviva daṇḍatā |
satyopi ca na santyetā bhrānteścittābalā iva || 13 ||

The conceptions of the mind are as false as the sight of things, such as the sight of a rod in a rising flame (and that of a circle in the twirling of a lighted torch). And though the presiding soul is always true, yet these thoughts of the mind are as untrue as its fancy of fairies in the orb of the moon.
