The Vision of Śiva4.20

4.20
कूटकार्षापणादौ वा व्यवहारोऽपि दृश्यते । तावता व्यवहारो वा यदात्माह्लादमात्रकम् ॥२०॥
kūṭakārṣāpaṇādau vā vyavahāro'pi dṛśyate | tāvatā vyavahāro vā yadātmāhlādamātrakam
— with a counterfeit coin and the like ; — or ; — transaction too ; — is seen ; — to that extent ; — transaction ; — or ; — which ; — is mere self-delight

And conversely, transaction is seen (to occur) even with a counterfeit coin and the like; so transaction (proves nothing about reality) — (the real measure being) that which is the sheer self-delight (of consciousness).
