इन्द्रजालमिदं विद्धि मायारचितपञ्जरम् ।
मनोमनननिर्माणं न सन्नासदिव स्थितम् ॥ २० ॥

indrajālamidaṃ viddhi māyāracitapañjaram |
manomanananirmāṇaṃ na sannāsadiva sthitam || 20 ||

Know the world as an enchanted scene, presented by the magic of thy error (maya);it is a fabrication of the working of thy mind, and is a nullity though appearing as a reality.
