स्वभावात्स चिदाकाशः किंचिच्चेतति चिन्तया ।
खमेव वपुराकाशं यत्तद्वेत्ति जगत्तया ॥ १२ ॥

svabhāvātsa cidākāśaḥ kiṃciccetati cintayā |
khameva vapurākāśaṃ yattadvetti jagattayā || 12 ||

It is of its own nature that this intellectual vacuity, reflects on something in its thought; and sees the same as its aeriform body; and this it is what is called the world.
