Verse 3.1.29

यदि राम जगद्दृश्यमस्ति तत्प्रतिबिम्बति ।
परमाणूदरेऽप्यस्मिंश्चिदादर्शे तथैव हि ॥ २९ ॥

yadi rāma jagaddṛśyamasti tatpratibimbati |
paramāṇūdare'pyasmiṃścidādarśe tathaiva hi || 29 ||

Although this visible world is apparent to sight, yet O Rama! it is but a shadow of that Being, who resides alike in the smallest atom as in the mirror of the mind, that receives the image of the largest as well as minutest things.
