नाभिन्ना नापि संख्येया यथाद्रौ परमाणुकाः ।
तथा ब्रह्म बृहन्मेरौ त्रैलोक्यपरमाणवः ॥ १९ ॥

nābhinnā nāpi saṃkhyeyā yathādrau paramāṇukāḥ |
tathā brahma bṛhanmerau trailokyaparamāṇavaḥ || 19 ||

As the sands on a rock, are separably attached to it, and are countless in their number; so the orbs in the three worlds, are as particles of dust in the mountainous body of Brahma.
