परमाकाशतां मुक्त्वा किं स्वप्ननगरे वद ।
विद्यते किल तच्छान्तं चिद्व्योमाच्छमनामयम् ॥ २९ ॥

paramākāśatāṃ muktvā kiṃ svapnanagare vada |
vidyate kila tacchāntaṃ cidvyomācchamanāmayam || 29 ||

Say why you forsake your state of absolute nothingness, and what you get in your visionary city of this world; it is all calm and quiet without, as your vacuous Intellect is serene and clear within you.
