जलमन्यत्तरङ्गोऽन्य इति बालकुकल्पनया भेदः कल्प्यत एवमवास्तवस्तस्माद्यो योऽयमाभाति भेदः ।
स केवलमतत्त्वविद्भिः परिकल्पितो रज्ज्वां सर्प इव एवं भेदाभेदशक्त्योररिमित्रयोरेव ब्रह्मण्येव संभवेत् ॥ ७८ ॥

jalamanyattaraṅgo'nya iti bālakukalpanayā bhedaḥ kalpyata evamavāstavastasmādyo yo'yamābhāti bhedaḥ |
sa kevalamatattvavidbhiḥ parikalpito rajjvāṃ sarpa iva evaṃ bhedābhedaśaktyorarimitrayoreva brahmaṇyeva saṃbhavet || 78 ||

It is the vitiated imagination of boys, that fancies the water and its waves as different things; and makes a false distinction between them which are really the same things.
