It is by the nature of the *jiva* itself, but it is born from the nature of both, it exists; because if one of the two is absent (lacking), then there is no *samsara* itself. The state of *samsara* does not arise from any other element. ||26||
Just as whiteness is produced on a wall by white substance, and is beautiful without being inherent in both, so should the *prapancha* (the expanse of *samsara*) be understood. ||27||
Just as an object seen in a dream is not seen after waking up, so also the *sarga* (the world) perceived through *vyavahara* (conventional reality) is not seen by the *jnani* (the wise one). ||28||
Just as a stream of water appears to flow in a mirage at midday, so also the *sarga* born from *samyoga* (combination) appears due to the veil of *viveka-akhyati-viplava* (the reversal of the perception of discrimination). ||29||
