आत्मन्यपि नास्ति हि या द्रष्टा यस्या न विद्यते कश्चित् ।
न च शून्यं नाशून्यं भ्रान्तिरियं भासते सेति ॥ १३ ॥

ātmanyapi nāsti hi yā draṣṭā yasyā na vidyate kaścit |
na ca śūnyaṃ nāśūnyaṃ bhrāntiriyaṃ bhāsate seti || 13 ||

The phenomena of the world, which is neither exhibited in the divine spirit, as an intrinsic or subjective part of itself nor has it a viewer (or subjective framer) for itself; which is neither a vacuity nor even a solidity of its nature; cannot be otherwise than an erroneous conception of the mind.
