निर्णीतास्मिंस्त्वनध्यक्षे प्रत्यक्षकलनागता ॥ २० ॥

aho nu citrā māyeyaṃ prākpratyakṣe parokṣatā |
nirṇītāsmiṃstvanadhyakṣe pratyakṣakalanāgatā || 20 ||

O, the wonder of taking the sensibles for the invisible verities! when it is ascertained that the concepts, which are beyond the senses, are the true realities that come under our cognizance.
