Verse 2.17.48

नष्टाहंकारवेतालो देहवानकलेवरः ।
कस्मिंश्चिद्रोमकोट्यग्रे तस्येयमवतिष्ठते ।
जगल्लक्ष्मीर्महामेरोः पुष्पे क्वचिदिवालिनी ॥ ४८ ॥

naṣṭāhaṃkāravetālo dehavānakalevaraḥ |
kasmiṃścidromakoṭyagre tasyeyamavatiṣṭhate |
jagallakṣmīrmahāmeroḥ puṣpe kvacidivālinī || 48 ||

When freed from the chimera of its egoism, it becomes incorporeal even in its embodied state, and beholds (the glory of) the whole world as it was placed at the point of one of the myriads of hairs (on its body), or like a bee sitting on a flower upon the Sumera mountain.
