माधुर्यादि च यत्कार्यमुष्णद्रव्याद्यसेवनात् । छायाया न त्वदृष्टत्वादपामेव च दर्शनात् ॥
mādhuryādi ca yatkāryamuṣṇadravyādyasevanāt | chāyāyā na tvadṛṣṭatvādapāmeva ca darśanāt ||
And the effect such as sweetness [attributed to the shadow] comes from not consuming hot substances and the like, not from the shadow; for [the shadow] is not seen, and only the water is seen.
और [छाया का बताया गया] माधुर्य आदि प्रभाव उष्ण पदार्थों आदि का सेवन न करने से होता है, छाया से नहीं; क्योंकि [छाया] दिखाई नहीं देती, केवल जल ही दिखता है।
