अस्त्यनन्तविलासात्मा सर्वगः सर्वसंश्रयः ।
चिदाकाशोऽविनाशात्मा प्रदीपः सर्वजन्तुषु ॥ ११ ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
astyanantavilāsātmā sarvagaḥ sarvasaṃśrayaḥ |
cidākāśo'vināśātmā pradīpaḥ sarvajantuṣu || 11 ||

Vasishtha replied:—The supreme soul of infinite manifestations exists by itself; it passes through and supports the whole in the form of vacuity and understanding, and as light to all living beings.
