saṃvidi jātāyām api kiñcana na jātam.

48. Without support (nirādhāram), without a substratum (nirādheyam), non-dual (advaitam), and devoid of even unity (aikya-varjitam)—such is the nature of reality. Even when consciousness (saṃvid) appears to arise, nothing whatsoever of the world (jagat) has truly come into being.

48. ללא מצע וללא דבר הנתמך עליו, מציאות שאין בה דואליות ואף לא מושג של אחדות; גם כאשר התודעה תופסת כביכול עולם, שום דבר לא באמת נולד.
