चित्तत्त्वमात्रसत्तास्ति द्वित्वमैक्यं च नास्त्यलम् ।
अतः पदार्थसत्ताया अभावे सति भूपते ॥ १६ ॥

cittattvamātrasattāsti dvitvamaikyaṃ ca nāstyalam |
ataḥ padārthasattāyā abhāve sati bhūpate || 16 ||

The intellect therefore is the only true entity, which admits no unity nor duality in it. And therefore, O prince, you must know the nullity of all other entities beside it.
