yathā saṅkalpa-racanā tathā iyam hi jagat-sthitiḥ ||

36. yathā bhaviṣyat-nagare trayaḥ rājaputrāḥ nadyaḥ,
tathā iyam hi jagat-sthitiḥ saṅkalpa-racanā

36. Just as there can be three princes and rivers in a city yet to exist (a city conceived in imagination), so too is this state of the world (jagat) merely a construct of ideation (saṅkalpa).
