5. As the errors of various wanderings, occurred to the mind of Sukra; so it is with every body (from his observation of the world), as it is instanced in the case of Bhrigu’s son.
6. As the serum contained in the seed, developes itself in the shoots and leaves; so the mind evolves in all the forms which are contained therein.
7. Whatever forms of things are seen to exist in this world, are all false appearances; and so are their disappearances also, (mere creations of the mind).
8. Nothing appears or disappears to any one in this world, but error and aerial phantasms; that show themselves to those that are bewitched by this magic scene of the world.
9. As it is our notion of this part of the world, which presents its form to our view; so the appearance of thousands of such worlds in the mind, is mere ideal; and as false as the show of a magic-lantern.
10. As the sights in our dream, and the images of our imagination, are never apart from our minds; and as they cannot show themselves to the view of others; such is our erroneous conception of the world (confined within ourselves).
11. So are all places and things but imaginary ideas, and show themselves as real objects, to the purblind sight of the ignorant only.
12. So also are the ghosts and goblins, demons and devils, but imaginary figures of the mind; born in the shallow brain of men, to terrify them with their hideous shapes.
13. Thus have we all become, like the dreaming son of Bhrigu; to understand the false creations of our imagination, as sober realities.
14. So the creation of the world, and all created things, are situated (pictured) in the mind of Brahmá; and make their repeated appearance, as the phantoms of a phantasmagoria before him.
