37. This world (jagat) which is seen, this specific 'something,' indeed, appears like a bracelet (aṅgada) made of gold (hemnaḥ) – not truly existing (as separate). Its dissolution is known by the wise as merely non-perception (avedana) itself, after which only that truth, the ultimate reality (paramārtha), remains.
