Verse 7.165.17

इत्थमस्त्विदमथान्यथास्तु वा मैव भूद्भवतु कोऽत्र संभ्रमः ।
कोऽत्र फल्गुनि फले फलग्रहो बुद्धमेव तदलं विकल्पनैः ॥ १७ ॥

itthamastvidamathānyathāstu vā maiva bhūdbhavatu ko'tra saṃbhramaḥ |
ko'tra phalguni phale phalagraho buddhameva tadalaṃ vikalpanaiḥ || 17 ||

Whether it is so or not or be it anything otherwise (as others may have it); yet why [you] should mistake it for anything at all, in whatever light you take it, it will amount to your mistake of an empty ball for a fruit.
