स्थूलाकारात्मिका काचिन्नास्ति दृश्यस्य दृश्यता ॥ २१ ॥

anyathānupapattyaiva svapnābhākalanādṛte |
sthūlākārātmikā kācinnāsti dṛśyasya dṛśyatā || 21 ||

In absence of any other cause of creation (save that of our consciousness of it), it is naught beside an appearance in our dream; and there is nothing as the gross material form or its visible appearance whatsoever.
