Verse 3.9.53

स एव सदसद्रूपं येनालोकेन लक्ष्यते ।
सर्गचित्रमनाद्यन्तं स्वरूपं चाप्य रञ्जनम् ॥ ५३ ॥

sa eva sadasadrūpaṃ yenālokena lakṣyate |
sargacitramanādyantaṃ svarūpaṃ cāpya rañjanam || 53 ||

He is also that (intellectual) light (chidaloka), whereby the form of that real as well as unreal Being—sadasadatma is discerned by us in his perspective of creation, as one without beginning or end, and presenting a representation that is without any colour or shade.
