सचेतनोऽयःपिण्डोऽन्तः क्षुरसूच्यादिकं यथा ।
बुद्ध्यते बुद्ध्यते तद्वज्जीवोऽज्ञस्त्रिजगद्भ्रमम् ॥ २८ ॥

sacetano'yaḥpiṇḍo'ntaḥ kṣurasūcyādikaṃ yathā |
buddhyate buddhyate tadvajjīvo'jñastrijagadbhramam || 28 ||

The intelligent and ever living soul (of God) sees the uncreated worlds deeply impressed in itself; as a rod of iron (were it endowed with intelligence), would see the future knives and needles in itself.
