Verse 3.40.57

एवं कुड्यमयं विश्वं नास्त्येव मननादृते ।
मनने चलमेवान्तस्तदिदानीं विचारय ॥ ५७ ॥

evaṃ kuḍyamayaṃ viśvaṃ nāstyeva mananādṛte |
manane calamevāntastadidānīṃ vicāraya || 57 ||

Hence it is impossible to comprehend the stupendous fabric of the universe any how except in the mind, which is as spacious as the infinite space itself, and as variable as the course of events in the world.
