न कदाचिदिदं शान्तं जगद्राम न च क्षयि ।
अजस्रं दृश्यमानत्वाद्भावित्वाच्च पुनःपुनः ॥ ९ ॥

na kadācididaṃ śāntaṃ jagadrāma na ca kṣayi |
ajasraṃ dṛśyamānatvādbhāvitvācca punaḥpunaḥ || 9 ||

The world is neither stable nor fragile, but it is mutable from one state to another, as it is known by its repeated reproductions and visibility to us.
