निमेषजठरे कल्पसंभवः समुदेति हि ।
महानगरनिर्माणं मुकुरेऽन्तरिवामले ॥ ४० ॥

nimeṣajaṭhare kalpasaṃbhavaḥ samudeti hi |
mahānagaranirmāṇaṃ mukure'ntarivāmale || 40 ||

The course of a long Kalpa, is sometimes represented in the womb of a nimesha instant; as the period of the building of a great city, is present in the small space of the mind's remembrance, as it is in the bosom of a mirror.
