Verse 3.81.6

एषोऽणुर्वेदनाद्वायुः स्वभ्रान्तिर्दृगदृश्यत ।
अतो न किंचिद्वाय्वादि केवलं शुद्धचेतनम् ॥ ६ ॥

eṣo'ṇurvedanādvāyuḥ svabhrāntirdṛgadṛśyata |
ato na kiṃcidvāyvādi kevalaṃ śuddhacetanam || 6 ||

This minute particle is erroneously conceived as spirit (air), from its invisibleness to the naked eye; but it is in truth neither air nor any other thing except the only pure Intellect.
