Verse 7.52.16

शून्यत्वमुपलम्भत्वं यद्गतं नष्टमेव तत् ।
अन्यस्तर्हि भवेन्नाशः कीदृशः किल कथ्यताम् ॥ १६ ॥

śūnyatvamupalambhatvaṃ yadgataṃ naṣṭameva tat |
anyastarhi bhavennāśaḥ kīdṛśaḥ kila kathyatām || 16 ||

Vacuity being conceivable by us, we say everything to be annihilated, that is transformed to or hid in the womb of vacuum;if then there is anything else which is meant by dissolution, let us know what may it be otherwise.
