etat anantaram samam vinaśyati,
hemni iva parijñātam kaṭakāditvam [vinaśyati].

63. When the intellect's perception of the phenomenal world (dṛśya) is reversed, this [illusion] immediately vanishes, just as the nature of being a bracelet (kaṭaka) etc., once fully recognized as gold, disappears in gold.
