Verse 6.72.1

राजोवाच ।
कालसत्ता नभःसत्ता स्पन्दसत्ता च चिन्मयी ।
शुद्धचेतनसत्ता च सर्वमित्यादि पावनम् ॥ १ ॥

rājovāca |
kālasattā nabhaḥsattā spandasattā ca cinmayī |
śuddhacetanasattā ca sarvamityādi pāvanam || 1 ||

The rajah replied:—The essences of time, vacuum and of force, are all of intellectual origin; it is the pure intellect which is the source of all, as the air is the receptacle of odours and dusts.
