भ्रान्तिस्त्वसत्या वस्त्वेव प्रेक्षयातो न लभ्यते ।
शशश्रृङ्गवदत्यच्छमतो ब्रह्मैव शिष्यते ॥ ४३ ॥

bhrāntistvasatyā vastveva prekṣayāto na labhyate |
śaśaśrṛṅgavadatyacchamato brahmaiva śiṣyate || 43 ||

Error being the false representation of something, flies away before a critical insight into it; and all things being but productions of our error, like our conception of the horns of hare, they all vanish before the light of true knowledge, which leaves the entity of Brahma only at the end.
