Verse 7.167.42

इदमित्थमनित्थं च सद्वाऽसद्वा यथास्थितम् ।
लोकपर्यायवृत्तान्तं प्राज्ञो जानाति नेतरः ॥ ४२ ॥

idamitthamanitthaṃ ca sadvā'sadvā yathāsthitam |
lokaparyāyavṛttāntaṃ prājño jānāti netaraḥ || 42 ||

The world is always in the same unvaried state, whether you call it so or otherwise; and the seeming revolutions of bodies and succession of events, are well known to be nothing to the learned and wise, and not to others.
