गन्धर्वनगरप्रख्यमर्थशून्योपलम्भनात् ।
द्विचन्द्रविभ्रमाभासं मृगतृष्णाम्बुवर्तनम् ॥ १९ ॥

dvicandravibhramābhāsaṃ mṛgatṛṣṇāmbuvartanam || 19 ||

They resemble the moving hills on the shore to one passing in a boat, without any actual movement in them; or liken the hobgoblins appearing to an unsound mind. Such is the appearance of the world without any seed or source or origin of its own.
