Verse 5.71.50

क्वचिदस्पन्दरूपात्मा स्थितस्तेषु महेश्वरः ।
तरङ्गत्वमयातेषु जलभावो जलेष्विव ॥ ५० ॥

kvacidaspandarūpātmā sthitasteṣu maheśvaraḥ |
taraṅgatvamayāteṣu jalabhāvo jaleṣviva || 50 ||

The supreme soul is sometimes without its vibration, and remains stationary in all immovable things; as the water which presents its fluidity in the loose billows, shows also its inelasticity in the liquids which are at rest.
