Verse 7.213.34

अस्ति नास्ति च शून्यं च क्रिया कालो नभो मही ।
भावाभावौ भवो भूतिर्नाशाः पाशाः शुभाशुभाः ॥ ३४ ॥

asti nāsti ca śūnyaṃ ca kriyā kālo nabho mahī |
bhāvābhāvau bhavo bhūtirnāśāḥ pāśāḥ śubhāśubhāḥ || 34 ||

He is entity and nonentity, and both vacuity and solidity also; He is action and duration, and the earth and sky likewise. He is the being and not being, and their growth and their destruction likewise, and He is good as well as the evil, that attends on one and forefends another.
