नास्त्येव विद्याऽविद्या वा चिदेवेयं कचत्यजा ।
ख एव खाकृतिः स्वप्न इव सर्गस्वदेहिनी ॥ ३८ ॥

nāstyeva vidyā'vidyā vā cideveyaṃ kacatyajā |
kha eva khākṛtiḥ svapna iva sargasvadehinī || 38 ||

There is nescience, nor knowing of anything here by us; because it is the uncreated Intellect alone, that manifests itself in this manner; it reflects all forms in itself, as if they are all its dreams or creations.
