Verse 5.21.18

पद्माक्षकोशं त्रिजगद्गोष्पदं योजनव्रजम् ।
निमेषार्धं महाकल्पः स्पृहारहितचेतसाम् ॥ १८ ॥

padmākṣakośaṃ trijagadgoṣpadaṃ yojanavrajam |
nimeṣārdhaṃ mahākalpaḥ spṛhārahitacetasām || 18 ||

The mind that is devoid of avarice, views the triple world with the twinkling of an eye. The comprehensive mind views all space and time as a minim, in comparison to its conception of the infinite Brahma with itself.
