Verse 7.103.96

तस्माच्चिन्नभ एवेदं जगदाकृति लक्ष्यते ।
सर्वं शून्यं निरालम्बं भासनं चिद्विवस्वतः ॥ ९६ ॥

tasmāccinnabha evedaṃ jagadākṛti lakṣyate |
sarvaṃ śūnyaṃ nirālambaṃ bhāsanaṃ cidvivasvataḥ || 96 ||

Hence it is the intellectual sphere only, which represents the picture of the world; the whole is a void and without any support, and splendour of the luminary of the intellect.
