चिदग्न्यौष्ण्यं जगल्लेखा जगच्चिच्छङ्खशुक्लता ।
जगच्चिच्छैलजठरं चिज्जलद्रवता जगत् ॥ ७२ ॥

cidagnyauṣṇyaṃ jagallekhā jagaccicchaṅkhaśuklatā |
jagaccicchailajaṭharaṃ cijjaladravatā jagat || 72 ||

It is the intellectual fire that gives warmth to the world, and it is the alabaster (conch) of the intellect that causes its whiteness; the rock of intellect gives it hardness, and its water causes its fluidity.
