चित्राग्निदाहो विज्ञातो यथा दाह्येषु निष्फलः ।
तथाहंभावसर्गादि ज्ञातं निष्फलतामियात् ॥ २८ ॥

citrāgnidāho vijñāto yathā dāhyeṣu niṣphalaḥ |
tathāhaṃbhāvasargādi jñātaṃ niṣphalatāmiyāt || 28 ||

As our knowledge of the inefficacy of a flaming fire in painting, removes the fear of our being burnt by it; so our connection of our fallacies of egoism and creation, serves to efface the impressions of the subjective and objective from our minds.
