Verse 7.206.1

श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
यदकारणकं भाति भानं तन्नैव किंचन ।
तत्तथा परमार्थेन परमार्थः स्थितोऽनघ ॥ १ ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
yadakāraṇakaṃ bhāti bhānaṃ tannaiva kiṃcana |
tattathā paramārthena paramārthaḥ sthito'nagha || 1 ||

Vasishtha resumed:—The uncreated phenomenon of creation, that appears to view, is nothing in reality. It is the transcendental principle of supreme Brahma, that is the only true reality.
