Verse 4.58.5

किं करोमि क्व गच्छामि किं गृह्णामि त्यजामि किम् ।
आत्मना पूरितं विश्वं महाकल्पाम्बुना यथा ॥ ५ ॥

kiṃ karomi kva gacchāmi kiṃ gṛhṇāmi tyajāmi kim |
ātmanā pūritaṃ viśvaṃ mahākalpāmbunā yathā || 5 ||

What is there for me to do or refuse or to receive or reject, and what place is there for me to resort or refrain from going to, when this whole is filled by the Divine Spirit (to pan), as by the water of the great deluge.
