प्रतिबिम्बं यथान्यत्र स्थितं तोयक्रियावशात् । तत्प्रवृत्तिमिवान्वेति स धर्मः स्फोटनादयोः ॥ ४९ ॥

आत्मरूपं यथा ज्ञाने ज्ञेयरूपं च दृश्यते । अर्थरूपं तथा शब्दे स्वरूपं च प्रकाशते ॥ ५० ॥

Transliteration

pratibimbaṃ yathānyatra sthitaṃ toyakriyāvaśāt | tatpravṛttimivānveti sa dharmaḥ sphoṭanādayoḥ || 49 ||

ātmarūpaṃ yathā jñāne jñeyarūpaṃ ca dṛśyate | artharūpaṃ tathā śabde svarūpaṃ ca prakāśate || 50 ||

Translation

49. Just as a reflection, found elsewhere (as in water) seems to have movement because of the movement of water, such is the relation between sphoṭa and nāda.

50. Just as, in knowledge, its own form and that of the known are cognised, in the same way, in verbal cognition, the form of the object and that of the word are cognised.
