यथातपे हिमकणः शरद्व्योम्नि सितोऽम्बुदः ।
दृश्यमानोऽप्यदृश्यत्वमित्येवं योगिदेहकः ॥ २३ ॥

yathātape himakaṇaḥ śaradvyomni sito'mbudaḥ |
dṛśyamāno'pyadṛśyatvamityevaṃ yogidehakaḥ || 23 ||

His spiritual body is invisible to all, though it may appear as visible to their sight. It is like the particles of frost seen in sun-beams, and as the appearance of a white spot in autumnal sky.
