वायोः स्पन्दो यथान्तस्थो वात एव निरन्तरः ।
तथेदं ब्रह्मणि ब्रह्म न चोदेति न शाम्यति ॥ ३० ॥

vāyoḥ spando yathāntastho vāta eva nirantaraḥ |
tathedaṃ brahmaṇi brahma na codeti na śāmyati || 30 ||

As the motion of air always takes place amidst the air at rest (i.e. as the winds fluctuate amidst the still air); so also doth the spirit of Brahma, oscillate in his own spirit incessantly, and without its rise or fall.
