nityānubhava evātra darśane kāraṇaṃ mama ,
tadabhāvo mune manye te kāraṇamadarśane 15

tat-abhāvaḥ mune manye te kāraṇam adarśane

mune manye te tat-abhāvaḥ adarśane kāraṇam

15. For me, O sage, constant direct experience (anubhava) alone is the reason for perceiving this. I believe that for you, the lack of such experience is the reason for not perceiving it.
