अत्यन्तासंभवो यावद्बुद्धो दृश्यस्य न क्षयः ।
तावद्द्रष्टरि दृश्यत्वं न संभवति मोक्षधीः ॥ २३ ॥

tāvaddraṣṭari dṛśyatvaṃ na saṃbhavati mokṣadhīḥ 23

23. As long as the absolute non-existence of the perceived (dṛśya) is not realized, and its non-cessation (persistence) is understood as real, then, in the seer, the characteristic of being an object (dṛśyatva) persists, and thus the understanding of liberation (mokṣa) cannot arise.
