जलमेकं तरङ्गादि दार्वेकं शालभञ्जिका ।
मृन्मात्रमेकं कुम्भादि ब्रह्मैकं त्रिजगद्भ्रमः ॥ ५२ ॥

jalamekaṃ taraṅgādi dārvekaṃ śālabhañjikā |
mṛnmātramekaṃ kumbhādi brahmaikaṃ trijagadbhramaḥ || 52 ||

The same Brahma causes the error of the reality of the exterior worlds, as the underlying sea causes the error of the waves on its surface. The same wood is mistaken for the carved figure, and the common clay is taken for the pot which is made of it.
