Verse 7.31.7

कुतो जगदुपालम्भ इति चेत्तदवस्तुनि ।
न निर्णयः संभवति खपुष्पाणां किमुच्यते ॥ ७ ॥

kuto jagadupālambha iti cettadavastuni |
na nirṇayaḥ saṃbhavati khapuṣpāṇāṃ kimucyate || 7 ||

Whence is our perception of the world, but from a nullity; and if it is granted as such, then there is nothing that can be predicated of it, any more than that of a flower growing in the air.
