कः कर्ता कोऽथ वा द्रष्टा काधाराधेयता कथम् ।
न कदाचिन्महानाशो जगतामिति निश्चयः ॥ १२ ॥

kaḥ kartā ko'tha vā draṣṭā kādhārādheyatā katham |
na kadācinmahānāśo jagatāmiti niścayaḥ || 12 ||

Who is the maker of all these, and who is their witness; what is the support of the universe, and what are these that are contained therein? I am quite certain, that the world can never have its ultimate destruction.
