Verse 4.43.45

अविरतमियमातता तथोच्चैर्भवति विनश्यति वर्धते मुधैव ।
त्रिभुवनरचनादिमोहमाया परमपदे लहरीव वारिराशौ ॥ ४५ ॥

aviratamiyamātatā tathoccairbhavati vinaśyati vardhate mudhaiva |
tribhuvanaracanādimohamāyā paramapade laharīva vārirāśau || 45 ||

The particles of vital air, being thus spread out and scattered over the universe, come to assume the various forms of animated beings in all the worlds, but they are all mere creations of our ignorance, and are in reality like the rolling waves of water in the vast ocean of eternity.
