So stop censuring the cataract-ridden! First of all take a closer look at yourself. To explain:

In fact you too see things that are not really there,
The city of gandharvas, images in dreams,
Illusions, a mirage, reflections and so forth.
So, is it not unsound how these appear to you? (6.109)

To take dream perceptions as an example, they are just as non-existent as the son of a barren woman. Still, one can experience a dream but not the son of a barren woman. It is the same with the city of gandharvas.¹ A mirage refers to the phenomena of water appearing in a mirage. The same is the case for illusions. When saying reflections and so forth, the phrase and so forth is meant to include such things as echoes and apparitions. And although everything in these examples is empty of inherent existence, they can be seen; but the son of a barren woman cannot. So you should in fact be censuring yourself. And only after that should you come criticising me.
