मदशक्तिरिव ज्ञानमिति नास्मासु सिध्यति ।
देहो विज्ञानतोऽस्माकं स्वप्नवन्न तु तत्त्वतः ॥ ११ ॥

madaśaktiriva jñānamiti nāsmāsu sidhyati |
deho vijñānato'smākaṃ svapnavanna tu tattvataḥ || 11 ||

This conceit (of a theists) likening the intoxication of wine, cannot over power on our theistical belief; because our knowledge of bodies, is as that of things in a dream, and not at all of their real substantiality.
