मिथ्यैवानुभवो भ्रान्तेः स्वप्ने स्वमरणोपमः ।
यदनालोकनं नाम शाम्यतीदं विलोकनात् ॥ १२ ॥

mithyaivānubhavo bhrānteḥ svapne svamaraṇopamaḥ |
yadanālokanaṃ nāma śāmyatīdaṃ vilokanāt || 12 ||

An erroneous notion is as false, as the sight of one's own death in a dream; but how can this world which is so palpable to sight, be lost to or expunged from our sight, without losing our sight of its great manifester also?
