उद्यत्स्वपि जगत्स्वेष शान्तमेवावतिष्ठते ।
अनिच्छ एव मुकुरः प्रतिबिम्बशतेष्विव ॥ ३८ ॥

udyatsvapi jagatsveṣa śāntamevāvatiṣṭhate |
aniccha eva mukuraḥ pratibimbaśateṣviva || 38 ||

This playful time remains firm in his post, notwithstanding the repeated entrances and exits of worlds in the theatre of the universe; just as a fixed mirror ever remains the same, though shadows and appearance in it, are continually shifting and gliding through it.
