Verse 6.20.24

रत्नगुच्छप्रकाशाख्ये ब्रह्मन्कल्पलतागृहे ।
प्राणापानप्रवाहेण वेद्मि कल्पमखण्डितम् ॥ २४ ॥

ratnagucchaprakāśākhye brahmankalpalatāgṛhe |
prāṇāpānapravāheṇa vedmi kalpamakhaṇḍitam || 24 ||

Though we are wholly unacquainted with the changes of days and nights, on this high pinnacle of our heavenly mountain (where there is the eternal sunshine of Divine presence); yet we are not ignorant of the vicissitudes of the times and events, in the solar and sublunary worlds which roll incessantly below us.
