नीहार इव विस्तारि गृहीतं सन्न किंचन ।
जडशून्यास्पदं शून्यं केषांचित्परमाणुवत् ॥ १७ ॥

nīhāra iva vistāri gṛhītaṃ sanna kiṃcana |
jaḍaśūnyāspadaṃ śūnyaṃ keṣāṃcitparamāṇuvat || 17 ||

The bubbling worlds are as wide spread as the morning dews or frost;but take them up, and you will find them as nothing, it is thought as gross matter by some, and as vacuum by others. It is believed as a fluctuation of thought or false vision by some, and as a mere compound of atoms by many.
