Verse 5.72.42

नाभ्याशस्थो न दूरस्थो नैवास्ति न च नास्ति च ।
न प्राप्यो नाति चाप्राप्यो न वा सर्वो न सर्वगः ॥ ४२ ॥

nābhyāśastho na dūrastho naivāsti na ca nāsti ca |
na prāpyo nāti cāprāpyo na vā sarvo na sarvagaḥ || 42 ||

It is not near nor even far from us, nor is it an entity nor non-entity either;it is neither within nor without our reach; it is in all yet not the all and nothing at all. [Sanskrit: na tahu re na tadantike]
