मरिचस्येव यत्तैक्ष्ण्यं शून्यत्वमिव खस्य यत् ।
आत्मनो वेदनं यच्च तदेवान्यदिव स्थितम् ॥ २४ ॥

maricasyeva yattaikṣṇyaṃ śūnyatvamiva khasya yat |
ātmano vedanaṃ yacca tadevānyadiva sthitam || 24 ||

The pungency of the pepper and the vacuity of the firmament, are all according to one's knowledge and perception of them, and do not belong to the nature of things. For sweet is sour to some, and sour is sweet to others; and the firmament is thought to be a void by many, but is found to be full of air by others, who assert the dogma of natures abhorrence of vacuum.
