जगदास्ते परस्याणोरन्तरित्यपि नोचितम् ।
सार्षपे कणके मेरुरास्त इत्यज्ञकल्पना ॥ २४ ॥

jagadāste parasyāṇorantarityapi nocitam |
sārṣape kaṇake merurāsta ityajñakalpanā || 24 ||

It is improper to say that the world consisted in a minute particle in the divine spirit, and quite absurd to maintain that it remained in an eternal atom (according to the atomic theory); for how is it possible that a body as big as a mountain could be contained in a minim as small as a mustard seed? It is therefore a false theory of the ignorant.
