संनिवेशदृशः शान्तौ तदस्ति कनकं यथा ।
जगदाद्यर्थसंशान्तौ ब्रह्मेदं विद्यते तथा ॥ ९ ॥

saṃniveśadṛśaḥ śāntau tadasti kanakaṃ yathā |
jagadādyarthasaṃśāntau brahmedaṃ vidyate tathā || 9 ||

The changes that appear to take place in the spirit of God, are as extraneous as the different colours that paint the vault of heaven, and the various jewelleries which are wrought upon gold; these have no intrinsic essentiality, and never affect the tranquillity of the divine spirit, nor the uniform serenity of the empty sky, nor the nature of the pure metal of gold.
