Verse 7.116.17

अह्नि प्रकाशमसि रक्तवपुर्दिनान्ते यामासु कृष्णमथ चाखिलवस्तुरिक्तम् ।
नित्यं न किंचिदपि सद्वहसीति मायां न व्योम वेत्ति विदुषोऽपि विचेष्टितं ते ॥ १७ ॥

ahni prakāśamasi raktavapurdinānte yāmāsu kṛṣṇamatha cākhilavasturiktam |
nityaṃ na kiṃcidapi sadvahasīti māyāṃ na vyoma vetti viduṣo'pi viceṣṭitaṃ te || 17 ||

Thou art the day light at daytime, and the purple red of evening, and turnest black at night; thus devoid of all colour of thyself thou dost exhibit all colours in thee; hence it is impossible even for the learned, to understand aright thy nature and its convertible conditions also.
