मम नार्थाय स इति वक्षि चेत्तत्कथं भवेत् ।
देशान्तरगताः सर्वे भवन्त्यर्थाय संप्रति ॥ ३८ ॥

mama nārthāya sa iti vakṣi cettatkathaṃ bhavet |
deśāntaragatāḥ sarve bhavantyarthāya saṃprati || 38 ||

But you may object and say that, things that are absent and at a distance from you, are no way serviceable to you, and yet they cannot be said to be inexistent or unreal; because they come to use when they are present before us.
