स्वयं स्पन्दितयास्पन्दिचित्त्वाच्चिति महानभ ।
चित्प्रकाशप्रकाशो हि जगदस्ति च नास्ति च ॥ ६८ ॥

svayaṃ spanditayāspandicittvācciti mahānabha |
citprakāśaprakāśo hi jagadasti ca nāsti ca || 68 ||

The world is in motion by the force of the Intellect, in whose great vacuity it is settled; it is lighted by the light of that Intellect, and is therefore said to be both existent as well as inexistent by itself.
