Verse 7.172.48

ब्रह्मेदमाकचति चारुजगत्स्वरूपं तच्चैकमेव कचनाकचनात्मनिष्ठम् ।
दृश्याभमप्यमलमेव नभः प्रशान्तं नित्योदितं प्रलयसर्गमयोदयात्म ॥ ४८ ॥

brahmedamākacati cārujagatsvarūpaṃ taccaikameva kacanākacanātmaniṣṭham |
dṛśyābhamapyamalameva nabhaḥ praśāntaṃ nityoditaṃ pralayasargamayodayātma || 48 ||

It is the Divinity Brahma itself that shines in the form of this wondrous world; it is the selfsame unity, which appears so manifest, and yet so very obscure as mysterious unto us. What is visible is only pure light, and that of the serene clearness of open air, which glows and grows dim by turns, by the vicissitudes of the light and shade of creation and destruction.
