निर्वाणादितरा सत्ता दुःखायाहमिति भ्रमः ।
मृगतृष्णाम्बुरूपोऽहमसच्छून्यस्वरूपकः ॥ ६० ॥

nirvāṇāditarā sattā duḥkhāyāhamiti bhramaḥ |
mṛgatṛṣṇāmburūpo'hamasacchūnyasvarūpakaḥ || 60 ||

The error of egoism is opposed to the verity of nirvana, and is the cause of misery only to mankind; the ego is verily a falsity as mirage, and a non-entity as vacuity itself.
