अतः शिलोदराभोऽसि व्योमकोशोपमोपि च ।
ब्रह्मैकघनरूपत्वादजोऽनवयवोऽसि च ॥ ८ ॥

ataḥ śilodarābho'si vyomakośopamopi ca |
brahmaikaghanarūpatvādajo'navayavo'si ca || 8 ||

Therefore the nature of Brahma is both as empty as the hollow vacuity of air, as also as dense as the density of a rock; so it is the solidity of Brahma that represents the solid cosmos, as his tenuity displays the inane atmosphere.
