Verse 6.72.8

अणोरप्यत्यनन्तस्य पुंसोऽस्य जगदाद्यपि ।
परमाणुवदाभाति प्रतीतत्वादरूपवत् ॥ ८ ॥

aṇorapyatyanantasya puṃso'sya jagadādyapi |
paramāṇuvadābhāti pratītatvādarūpavat || 8 ||

The endless being though likened to a minute atom, is yet as large as to contain all these worlds as its minutest particles; which are as evident to us as the very many aerial scenes appearing in our minds in the state of dreaming.
