Verse 7.42.10

तत्कस्यचिच्छिवं शान्तं कस्यचिद्ब्रह्म शाश्वतम् ।
कस्यचिच्छून्यतामात्रं कस्यचिज्ज्ञप्तिमात्रकम् ॥ १० ॥

tatkasyacicchivaṃ śāntaṃ kasyacidbrahma śāśvatam |
kasyacicchūnyatāmātraṃ kasyacijjñaptimātrakam || 10 ||

This is the great intellect of some, and the holy spirit of others; it is the eternally omniscient Brahma according to some, and the infinite void or vacuum of vacuists. It is also called jnapti—knowledge or science by scientists.
