Verse 6.42.28

सदसद्ग्रथितं विश्वं विश्वगे विश्वकर्मणि ।
न तद्दूरे न निकटे नोर्ध्वे नाधो न तेन मे ।
न पूर्वं नाद्य न प्रातर्न सन्नासन्न मध्यमम् ॥ २८ ॥

sadasadgrathitaṃ viśvaṃ viśvage viśvakarmaṇi |
na taddūre na nikaṭe nordhve nādho na tena me |
na pūrvaṃ nādya na prātarna sannāsanna madhyamam || 28 ||

Thus the great god that pervades over all his works in the world, connects all things in being and not being, as pearls in a necklace by the thread of his soul. He is neither near us nor even far from us; nor is he above or below anything whatever. He is neither the first nor last but ever lasting (having neither his beginning nor end). He is neither the reality or unreality, nor is he in the midst of these.
