सजातीयैकताभावाद्यद्वत्काष्ठ न चेतते ।

dāru tadvadapi draṣṭā dṛśyaṃ nājñāsyadājaḍam || 11 ||

When there is no homogeneous affinity between two things as between the intellect and a log of wood, there can be no union between them; nor can two pieces of wood know one another, owing to their want of intellect.
