Verse 3.114.36

श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
न नाम नीलता व्योम्नः शून्यस्य गुणवत्स्थिता ।
अन्यरत्नप्रभाभावान्न वाप्येषा च मैरवी ॥ ३६ ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
na nāma nīlatā vyomnaḥ śūnyasya guṇavatsthitā |
anyaratnaprabhābhāvānna vāpyeṣā ca mairavī || 36 ||

Vasishtha replied:—Rama! the sky being but empty vacuum, cannot have the quality of blueness which is commonly attributed to it; nor is it the bluish lustre of the blue gems which are supposed to abound on the top of Meru.
