व्योम्नः शून्यतमा विद्धि तास्तामरसलोचन ।
क्षणेन चेतसि यथा भ्रान्तौ लोकक्षयोदयौ ॥ १२ ॥

vyomnaḥ śūnyatamā viddhi tāstāmarasalocana |
kṣaṇena cetasi yathā bhrāntau lokakṣayodayau || 12 ||

Know, O red eyed Arjuna! the picture of the world in the empty vacuum is as void as the vacuity itself; it rises and sets in the mind, as the temporary scenes which appear in imagination at the fit of a delirium.
