pūrvarūḍhajagadbhrāntibhūtatanmātrarañjanāt |
bhūtānāṃ saṃbhavaḥ prokto bhrāntijo dṛśyasaṅgataḥ || 23 ||

The false but rooted knowledge of the previous existence of the world, and of all creatures besides, leads to the belief of the regeneration of beings from the reminiscence of the past; and this called the erroneous conceptions of births in the visible world.
