Verse 7.42.17

विश्वाभासं तदेवेदं न विश्वं सन्न विश्वता ।
देशकालादिमत्त्वेन कदाचिद्धेम्नि सत्यता ॥ १७ ॥

viśvābhāsaṃ tadevedaṃ na viśvaṃ sanna viśvatā |
deśakālādimattvena kadāciddhemni satyatā || 17 ||

That which has the appearances of the world, is no world in reality, but a shadow of it; and that which is limited by space and time, cannot be the infinite and external sphere.
