एवं जगत्त्वमहमित्यवबोधरूपमाभासमात्रमुदितं न च नोदितं च ।
अर्कांशुजालरचनानगराभमत्र कुड्यादि सत्यमिदमस्ति न खे लतेव ॥ १२ ॥

evaṃ jagattvamahamityavabodharūpamābhāsamātramuditaṃ na ca noditaṃ ca ,
arkāṃśujālaracanānagarābhamatra kuḍyādi satyamidamasti na khe lateva 12

12. evam jagat tvam aham iti avabodha rūpam
ābhāsa mātram uditam na ca na uditam ca
arkāṃśujālaracanā nagara ābham atra
kuḍya ādi satyam idam asti na khe latā iva

12. evam jagat tvam aham iti avabodha rūpam ābhāsa mātram uditam ca na uditam ca (asti).
atra (etat) arkāṃśujālaracanā nagara ābham (asti); idam kuḍya ādi satyam asti,
latā iva khe na (asti).

12. Thus, the concepts of 'world,' 'you,' and 'I'—which are forms of understanding—are merely appearances, simultaneously arisen and not arisen. Here (in this apparent reality), this is like a city created by a network of sunbeams (a mirage); things like walls are truly existing, not like a creeper in the sky (which is purely imaginary).
