एतद्वृद्धं वृद्धतरे क्षयि क्षयिणि जायते ।
पदार्थे सदसच्चापि प्रतिबिम्बार्कवत्स्थितम् ॥ ३४ ॥

etadvṛddhaṃ vṛddhatare kṣayi kṣayiṇi jāyate |
padārthe sadasaccāpi pratibimbārkavatsthitam || 34 ||

All these objects increase and decrease in their figures under the light of the soul, like the shadows of things enlarging and diminishing themselves in the sun shine.
