Verse 99nirnimittaṃ bhavej jñānaṃ nirādhāraṃ bhramātmakam ।
tattvataḥ kasyacin naitad evaṃbhāvī śivaḥ priye ॥Cognitions arise without cause and without objective basis, their nature being [merely] an eddy [of mental energy]. In reality, these [cognitions] belong to no one. One who directly senses the truth of this is Śiva [himself], O beloved.
