Verse 7.206.10

किं जगत्किं च सर्गादि काश्चिन्नित्यं तमोधराः ।
व्योमसंस्थार्णवाः काश्चित्काश्चित्कृमिकुलाकुलाः ॥ १० ॥

kiṃ jagatkiṃ ca sargādi kāścinnityaṃ tamodharāḥ |
vyomasaṃsthārṇavāḥ kāścitkāścitkṛmikulākulāḥ || 10 ||

What is the world and what was the beginning of its creation; what was the primeval chaos, and whence is this earth? What is the air the support of the seas, and what is hell, which is filled by worms and insects?
