Sanskrit: यत्र भ्रान्त्या कल्पितं तद्विवेके तत्तन्मात्रं नैव तस्माद्विभिन्नम् । रान्तेर्नाशे भाति दृष्टाहितत्त्वं रज्जुस्तद्वद्विश्वमात्मस्वरूपम् 
English:  That in which something is imagined to exist through error, is, when rightly discriminated, that thing itself, and not distinct from it. When the error is gone, the reality about the snake falsely perceived becomes the rope. Similarly the universe is in reality the Ātman.
