Verse 7.49.8

रूपालोकनमात्रं हि शून्यमेव जगत्स्थितम् ।
खे विचित्रमणिव्यूहकरजालमिवोत्थितम् ॥ ८ ॥

rūpālokanamātraṃ hi śūnyameva jagatsthitam |
khe vicitramaṇivyūhakarajālamivotthitam || 8 ||

The phenomenal world presenting its various appearances to the eye sight, is no more than an empty vacuity; and the varieties of light and lightsome bodies which appear in it, are no other than reflections of the rays of the vast mine of brilliant gems, which is hid under it, and shoots forth its glare in the open air.
