एषैव त्वपरिज्ञाता भ्रान्तिर्मायेति कथ्यते ।
जगदित्युच्यते विद्या दृश्यमित्युपवर्ण्यते ॥ ५० ॥

eṣaiva tvaparijñātā bhrāntirmāyeti kathyate |
jagadityucyate vidyā dṛśyamityupavarṇyate || 50 ||

It is ignorance of this intellectual phenomenon, which has led mankind to many errors, under the different names of illusion or maya, of ignorance or avidya, of the phenomenal or drisya, and finally of the world or jagat.
