वार्यावर्त इवाभाति पवनस्पन्दवच्च यत् ।
अबुद्धिपूर्वं चिद्व्योम्नि जगद्भानमभित्तिमत् ॥ ८ ॥

vāryāvarta ivābhāti pavanaspandavacca yat |
abuddhipūrvaṃ cidvyomni jagadbhānamabhittimat || 8 ||

It is want of understanding only, which makes us suppose a thing, which is turning round like a whirlpool, and having the force of the wind in it as the stable earth, although it has no basis or stability of it.
