भावस्य भावकः कश्चिन् न किंचिद् भावकोपरः ।
उभयाभावकः कश्चिद् एवमेव निराकुलः ॥ १८- ४२॥

Translation by Th. Byrom
One man believes in existence,
Another says, “There is nothing!”
Rare is the man who believes in neither.
He is free from confusion.

Some think that something exists, and others that nothing does. Rare is the man who does not think either, and is thereby free from distraction.
