मणिर्यथा स्वभावेन शुक्लपीतादिकास्त्विषः ।
अकुर्वन्नेव कुरुते चिदाकाशस्तथा जगत् ॥ १६ ॥

maṇiryathā svabhāvena śuklapītādikāstviṣaḥ |
akurvanneva kurute cidākāśastathā jagat || 16 ||

As a gemming stone exhibits of itself, the various hues of white, yellow and others, without their being infused therein; so the Divine Intellect shows this creation in all its various aspects within its vacuous sphere.
