व्यापी समस्तभूतानां चिदाकाशः स उच्यते ॥ १६ ॥

sabāhyābhyantarastho yaḥ sattāsattāvabodhakaḥ |
vyāpī samastabhūtānāṃ cidākāśaḥ sa ucyate || 16 ||

That space which is both in the inside and outside of everything, and denotes its occupation or otherwise by some substance or its absence, and pervades through all nature, is called the inane sphere of the Intellect.
