चेतनं चेतनाधातोः किंचित्संस्पदनं विना ।
क्वचित्स्थातुं न शक्नोति वस्त्ववस्तुतया यथा ॥ १४ ॥

kvacitsthātuṃ na śaknoti vastvavastutayā yathā || 14 ||

Sensation cannot exist any where (in any person), without the action of the power (lit, element) of intellection; as it is not possible for anything to be a nothing or appear otherwise than what it is.
