प्रत्यक्षमात्रनिष्ठोऽसौ मूढास्थ इति वक्ति यत् ।
तेन निर्युक्तिनोक्तेन शिलासदृशवृत्तिना ॥ १३ ॥

pratyakṣamātraniṣṭho'sau mūḍhāstha iti vakti yat |
tena niryuktinoktena śilāsadṛśavṛttinā || 13 ||

He who relies in his belief in the sensibles only, and regards the believer of the invisible as a fool; such a man (i.e. the Buddhist or Charvaka), is considered for his unreasonable reasoning, as a block of stone or stony block head.
