आभासमात्रं दृश्यात्म चिन्मात्रं शान्तमव्ययम् ।
स्थितमास्थाः किमेतस्मिन्स्वभावे स्वे विचार्यते ॥ ३१ ॥

ābhāsamātraṃ dṛśyātma cinmātraṃ śāntamavyayam |
sthitamāsthāḥ kimetasminsvabhāve sve vicāryate || 31 ||

As the crystal mirror shows the shade of everything in itself, so doth the transparency of Divine soul, exhibit the reflections of all things in it; the silent soul is as quiet as the mute crystal, but shows the varying scenes of nature, as interminably as a clear mirror reflects everything.
