नानाऽनाना न चाप्यन्तरणाविव सुमेरवः ।
न च शब्दार्थशब्दश्रीर्महोषरलता यथा ॥ ९ ॥

nānā'nānā na cāpyantaraṇāviva sumeravaḥ |
na ca śabdārthaśabdaśrīrmahoṣaralatā yathā || 9 ||

The Divine spirit is neither the same nor different in all bodies;because it is as impossible for the universal soul to be confined in any body, as it is impracticable for the mount Meru to be contained in an atom of dust. And it is as impossible to express it in words and their senses as it is incapable for the sandy soil to grow the tender herbs.
