Verses on the Recognition of the Lord7.11

7.11
पिशाचः स्याद् अनालोको ऽप्य् आलोकाभ्यन्तरे यथा अदृश्यो भूतलस्यान्त न निषेध्यः स सर्वथा ॥११॥
piśācaḥ syād anāloko 'py ālokābhyantare yathā adṛśyo bhūtalasyānta na niṣedhyaḥ sa sarvathā
— a goblin (a phantom) ; — might exist ; — not (perceptible) by light, invisible ; — even ; — within the (very midst of the) light ; — just as ; — invisible ; — of the ground ; — within ; — not ; — to be denied ; — it (the goblin) ; — at all, in any way

Just as a goblin, invisible even in the very midst of light, might still exist, so an (invisible) thing within the ground cannot at all be denied (merely by the ground's cognition).
