Verse 3.114.56

खाद्रिद्यूर्वीनदिश्रेण्यो दृष्टिसृष्ट्या पुनः पुनः ।
सैवान्येव विचित्रेयमविद्या परिवर्तते ॥ ५६ ॥

khādridyūrvīnadiśreṇyo dṛṣṭisṛṣṭyā punaḥ punaḥ |
saivānyeva vicitreyamavidyā parivartate || 56 ||

The heavens above and the earth below, with all the ranges of hills and mountains on earth, and all the lines of its rivers and lakes, are but the dissolving views of our sight, and are seen in the same or different lights as they are represented by our ignorance.
