तदेवाश्वपरिज्ञातं मिथ्या विद्येति कथ्यते ।
परिज्ञातं तु तच्छान्तं तथा ब्रह्मेति कथ्यते ॥ १७ ॥

tadevāśvaparijñātaṃ mithyā vidyeti kathyate |
parijñātaṃ tu tacchāntaṃ tathā brahmeti kathyate || 17 ||

As the knowledge of horses is said to be false, when known, so the knowledge of the world (as a separate existence) is a falsity, but being truly known, it is found to be Brahma himself.
