Verse 6.98.15

यत्किंचित्परमाकाश ईषत्कचकचायते ।
चिदादर्शे न जातत्वान्न चित्तं नो जगत्क्रिया ॥ १५ ॥

yatkiṃcitparamākāśa īṣatkacakacāyate |
cidādarśe na jātatvānna cittaṃ no jagatkriyā || 15 ||

The slight light which shines in the divine soul, is like the twilight that fills the etherial sphere; is the reflection of the mirror of the supreme intellect, and is neither the dim light of the mind, nor any reflection of the phenomenal world.
