प्रतिभासाच्चिदाकाशे सत्त्वशून्यं भवन्ति ताः ।
प्रकचन्ति ह्यनिर्भाव्याः प्रभापिण्ड इव प्रभाः ॥ ५८ ॥

pratibhāsāccidākāśe sattvaśūnyaṃ bhavanti tāḥ |
prakacanti hyanirbhāvyāḥ prabhāpiṇḍa iva prabhāḥ || 58 ||

But all these living beings have no room in the empty sphere of Divine Intellect. They live and shine like the solar rays, proceeding imperceptibly from that luminous orb.
