Verse 7.106.40

इदं विद्धि चिदाभासं परमार्थघनं घनम् ।
इत्थं स्थितं स्वयं भातं द्रष्टृदृश्यदृगात्मकम् ॥ ४० ॥

idaṃ viddhi cidābhāsaṃ paramārthaghanaṃ ghanam |
itthaṃ sthitaṃ svayaṃ bhātaṃ draṣṭṛdṛśyadṛgātmakam || 40 ||

Know the world as the concrete counterpart, of the discrete attribute of the transcendent glory of God; and as the very reflection of it, thus visibly exposed to the view of its beholders.
