भुशुण्ड उवाच ।
निरालम्बास्पदा ब्रह्मन्सर्वलोकावहेलिता ।
तुच्छेयं सर्वभूतानां मध्ये विहगजीविका ॥ १६ ॥

nirālambāspadā brahmansarvalokāvahelitā |
tuccheyaṃ sarvabhūtānāṃ madhye vihagajīvikā || 16 ||

Bhusunda replied:—Our station, O Brahman! in the open and empty air, is quite supportless and without any solid or fixed support. It is either unnoticed or looked upon with disregard and contempt by all, and our living and livelihood is the most despicable among all living beings.
