Verse 7.84.24

ज्योत्स्नायाश्चेत्यमेवं हि दृश्यमङ्गं चितेः क्रिया ।
शिवं शान्तमनायासमव्ययं विद्धि निर्मलम् ॥ २४ ॥

jyotsnāyāścetyamevaṃ hi dṛśyamaṅgaṃ citeḥ kriyā |
śivaṃ śāntamanāyāsamavyayaṃ viddhi nirmalam || 24 ||

The world is a display of the glory of God, as the moonlight is a manifestation of the brightness of that luminary; which is otherwise dark and obscure; so the lord God is ever tranquil and quiet and without any change or decay without his works.
