asyonmeṣo jagallakṣmīrnimeṣaḥ pralayāgamaḥ |
anunmeṣanimeṣo'sāvātmanyevāvatiṣṭhate || 40 ||

The twinklings of his eye cause the appearance and disappearance of the world, with all its beauty and brightness; but the Supreme soul having no outward eye or its twinkling, is confined in his spirit only.
