Verse 7.116.9

यत्रानेकसुरासुरास्पदघटा तारापदेशं गता ऋक्षाणां च यदास्पदं विसरतां सर्वोन्नतानां च यत् ।
तस्मिञ्छून्यमिति प्रतीतिरधुनाप्यस्तं गता नाम्बरे कोऽन्यो मार्जयितुं जनोऽज्ञरचितं लोकापवादं क्षमः ॥ ९ ॥

yatrānekasurāsurāspadaghaṭā tārāpadeśaṃ gatā ṛkṣāṇāṃ ca yadāspadaṃ visaratāṃ sarvonnatānāṃ ca yat |
tasmiñchūnyamiti pratītiradhunāpyastaṃ gatā nāmbare ko'nyo mārjayituṃ jano'jñaracitaṃ lokāpavādaṃ kṣamaḥ || 9 ||

Look at the firmament, ranged by multitudes of revolving planets, resembling the rolling chariots of warriors; and crowded by myriads of moving stars, likening the soldiers in the battle field; and yet it is the error of the ignorant to think it an empty vacuum; an error which is hard for the wise to remove.
