केशोण्ड्रकभ्रान्तिरिव विचित्रग्रन्थिवेष्टना ।
मिथ्यैव दृश्यमाना खेऽदृश्यमाना न किंचन ॥ १७ ॥

keśoṇḍrakabhrāntiriva vicitragranthiveṣṭanā |
mithyaiva dṛśyamānā khe'dṛśyamānā na kiṃcana || 17 ||

Like false light and phantasms in the open air, and like the linked and twisted motes of light curling about in the sky; do all these visibles appear to our view in the clear firmament, and are in reality but fallacies of our vision.
