निस्तत्त्वं त्वं जडं भ्रान्तं शठं नित्यमृताकृते ।
मूढ एव त्वयाज्ञेन बाध्यो न प्रविचारवान् ॥ २१ ॥

nistattvaṃ tvaṃ jaḍaṃ bhrāntaṃ śaṭhaṃ nityamṛtākṛte |
mūḍha eva tvayājñena bādhyo na pravicāravān || 21 ||

Thou art a dull unessential thing, erroneous and deceitful and always reckoned as dead, the ignorant alone are misled by thee and not the reasonable.
