Yoga Sutra 1.9

Sutra 9
<blockquote>
शब्दज्ञानानुपाती वस्तुशून्यो विकल्पः ॥९॥

Śabdajñānānupātī vastuśūnyo vikalpaḥ ॥9॥
</blockquote>

''Śabda'':word, sound; ''jñāna'':cognition; ''anupāti'':following upon; ''vastu'':object; ''śūnyaḥ'':empty; ''vikalpaḥ'':fancy, imagination

:'''Following upon knowledge through words but empty of an object is fancy.'''
:::::OR
:'''Verbal delusion arises when words do not correspond to reality.'''


'''Vikalpa - unfounded belief''' is imagination without the basis of an object. It is a creation of our mind. Unlike right and false knowledge, there is no real object in vikalpa.
