Verse 3.81.8

एवं स्थिते तु यस्तिष्ठंस्तत्तादृक्तदिवास्ति हि ।
तस्मान्न व्यतिरिक्तं तद्रूपं द्रव इवाम्भसः ॥ ८ ॥

evaṃ sthite tu yastiṣṭhaṃstattādṛktadivāsti hi |
tasmānna vyatiriktaṃ tadrūpaṃ drava ivāmbhasaḥ || 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.
