Verse 7.40.1

श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
रूपालोकमनस्कारबुद्ध्यादीन्द्रियवेदनम् ।
स्वरूपं विदुरम्लानमस्वभावस्य वस्तुनः ॥ १ ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
rūpālokamanaskārabuddhyādīndriyavedanam |
svarūpaṃ viduramlānamasvabhāvasya vastunaḥ || 1 ||

Vasishtha continued:—The sight of things, actions of the mind, the internal faculties and perceptions of the senses, being all of a superphysical nature, the true states of these categories are far removed from our knowledge, and present but a faint appearance of theirs unto us.
