सदृशं स्वस्वरूपेण न वा रूपेण केनचित् ।
एवंरूपं जगदिदं सम्यग्ज्ञातं शिवं भवेत् ॥ ३६ ॥

sadṛśaṃ svasvarūpeṇa na vā rūpeṇa kenacit |
evaṃrūpaṃ jagadidaṃ samyagjñātaṃ śivaṃ bhavet || 36 ||

Whether you behold this world in its true form of divine intelligence, or in any other form of gross matter; it is to be understood rightly as no other than a representation of the divine intellect.
