تخیل کیفیتی است که به انسان داده می شود تا آنچه را که نیست جبران کند و حس شوخ طبعی برای دلگرمی او از آنچه هست فراهم می شود.

कल्पना एक ऐसा गुण है जो मनुष्य को जो नहीं है उसकी भरपाई करने के लिए दिया जाता है, और जो वह है उससे उसे सांत्वना देने के लिए हास्य की भावना प्रदान की जाती है।

Imaginatio qualis est homini datum est quod non aliquis recompensare, et sensus humaor provisum est ut lenirent dolorem patris, ex qua ipse est.

تخیل ایک ایسی خوبی ہے جو انسان کو اس کی تلافی کے ل to دی جاتی ہے جو وہ نہیں ہے ، اور انسانیت کا احساس فراہم کیا جاتا ہے کہ وہ اسے کیا ہے اس سے تسلی دے۔
