यदा सर्वमनुत्पन्नं नास्त्येवापि च दृश्यते ।
तदा ब्रह्मैव विद्धीदं समं शान्तमसत्समम् ॥ ५ ॥

yadā sarvamanutpannaṃ nāstyevāpi ca dṛśyate |
tadā brahmaiva viddhīdaṃ samaṃ śāntamasatsamam || 5 ||

Whenever the shape of a thing, which is neither produced nor existent, presents itself to our sight; it is to be known as a picture of the ideal figure, which lies quietly in the divine mind.
