Verse 8

⁸Pressed in this way by the Ksatta, who wanted to know what is real, the sage, whose thought was on the Bhagavan, answered him with something like a smile and no pride in him. ⁹This is exactly the maya of the Bhagavan: that meanness and bondage in the Lord, who is free, run against all reasoning. ¹⁰For with no ground at all, a turning about of the self is made out in that Person who only looks on, as a man sees his own head cut off. ¹¹As the trembling of the moon in water, a quality the water makes, is seen though it is not there, so a quality of what is not the self is seen in the self, the seer.
