Verse 7.164.8

चिन्नभः काचकच्यं च स्वात्मन्येवावतिष्ठते ।
जगदित्येव तत्तत्र तज्ज्ञानेनैव चेत्यते ॥ ८ ॥

cinnabhaḥ kācakacyaṃ ca svātmanyevāvatiṣṭhate |
jagadityeva tattatra tajjñānenaiva cetyate || 8 ||

The world is the splendour of the chrystalline vacuum of the Divine Intellect, and subsists in the vacuity of the supreme soul itself; it is in this light that the universe is seen in the dhyana yoga or abstruse contemplation of [the] yogi.
