Verse 3.81.8

सोऽणुः सर्वं न किंचिच्च सोऽहं नाहं स एव च ।
सर्वशक्यात्मनोऽस्यैव प्रतिभैकात्र कारणम् ॥ ८ ॥

so'ṇuḥ sarvaṃ na kiṃcicca so'haṃ nāhaṃ sa eva ca |
sarvaśakyātmano'syaiva pratibhaikātra kāraṇam || 8 ||

That particle is all yet nothing, it is neither I, thou or he. It is the Almighty soul and its power is the cause of all. (The gloss explains pratibha as sakti or power, in preference to the other meanings of the word, as—knowledge, design, light, reflection and influence.
