Verse 7.171.11

यथात्मन्यनिलः स्पन्दश्चक्रावर्तवदीहते ।
सर्गादौ चिन्नभः स्थित्वा दृश्यमित्येव तिष्ठति ॥ ११ ॥

yathātmanyanilaḥ spandaścakrāvartavadīhate |
sargādau cinnabhaḥ sthitvā dṛśyamityeva tiṣṭhati || 11 ||

As the empty air evolves itself, in the manner of whirlwinds in itself; so does the intellectual vacuum exhibit the phenomenal world, subsisting in its very self.
