इदं शान्तमनाभातमनन्यन्नैतदात्मनि ।
चिति दृशौ तमसि खे चक्रकादीव भाति ते ॥ १४ ॥

idaṃ śāntamanābhātamananyannaitadātmani |
citi dṛśau tamasi khe cakrakādīva bhāti te || 14 ||

This universe is a quiet vacuity without any stir or shadow of anything in it; and it is the dimness of the purblind eye of the intellect, that presents these false shapes to sight, as blind men see black spots in the clear sky.
