प्रेक्षितं यत्तु नास्त्येव प्रेक्षाप्रश्नेन तत्र किम् ।
संनिवेशं विना सत्ता यथा हेम्नो न विद्यते ॥ ४३ ॥

prekṣitaṃ yattu nāstyeva prekṣāpraśnena tatra kim ,
saṃniveśaṃ vinā sattā yathā hemno na vidyate 43

43. prekṣitam yat tu na asti eva prekṣā-praśnena tatra
kim saṃniveśam vinā sattā yathā hemnaḥ na vidyate

43. tu yat prekṣitam na asti eva,
tatra prekṣā-praśnena kim? yathā saṃniveśam vinā hemnaḥ sattā na vidyate.

43. But regarding that which is perceived as not existing at all, what purpose does a question of inquiry serve there? Just as the existence of gold cannot be found without its inherent form (saṃniveśa).
