73. Scriptures say that the intellectual-sheath is this Atman. The whole world in the form of birth

and death, pleasure and pain belongs to the intellect.

74. The Madhyamikas (Buddhists known as Shunyavadins) say that the intellect is momentary like
a flash of lightning, breaking of a cloud, or the winking of an eye, and it is not Atman. And due to

the non-existence of anything permanent, (void alone being permanent), void is Atman.

75. They (Buddhists) quote the scriptures, 'In the beginning all this was non-existent (Asat) alone'

and say that perception and the objects of perception, and this entire world is a creation of illusion.
(Thus, Asat alone is Atman.)
