कार्यकारणभावादिदृशोऽविद्याविजृम्भिकाः ।
जगद्वत्कल्पयत्येष कोऽस्य पर्यनुयोगकृत् ॥ ४६ ॥

kāryakāraṇabhāvādidṛśo'vidyāvijṛmbhikāḥ |
jagadvatkalpayatyeṣa ko'sya paryanuyogakṛt || 46 ||

The thought of cause and effect, and the sense of the visible and invisible, proceed from errors of the mind and defects of vision; it is the erroneous imagination that frames these worlds, and nobody questions or upbraids himself for his error. The states of cause and effect, and those of the visible and invisible &c., are mere phantoms of error, rising before the sight of the living soul and proceeding from its ignorance, and then its imagination paints these as the world, and there is nobody that finds his error or blame himself for his blunder.
