शून्यं कचत्यशून्याभं दृष्टान्तं स्वप्नमत्र यः ।
अपह्णुतेऽनुभूतं स पशुभर्तृकुकं कुधीः ॥ ३१ ॥

śūnyaṃ kacatyaśūnyābhaṃ dṛṣṭāntaṃ svapnamatra yaḥ |
apahṇute'nubhūtaṃ sa paśubhartṛkukaṃ kudhīḥ || 31 ||

It is the vacuum that appears as the plenum, as in the instance of an empty dream seeming as something;the man that denies his own percipience of it, is no better than a boor or brute.
