ग्राह्यग्राहकसंबन्धः स्वनिष्ठोऽपि न लभ्यते ।
असतस्तु कथं लाभः केन लब्धोऽसितः शशी ॥ ६ ॥

grāhyagrāhakasaṃbandhaḥ svaniṣṭho'pi na labhyate |
asatastu kathaṃ lābhaḥ kena labdho'sitaḥ śaśī || 6 ||

We are at a loss to determine the relation, of the subjectivity and objectivity of our (as when I say, I am conscious of myself, here “I am” is the subject of myself—the object). It is just as impossible to find out my egoism and meity, as it is to expect to see a potential black moon in the sky.
