Verse 6.96.8

शिवे शान्ते निराभासे पदेऽनुल्लसितात्मनि ।
द्रष्टृदर्शनदृश्याख्यो विश्वात्मा प्रत्ययः कुतः ॥ ८ ॥

śive śānte nirābhāse pade'nullasitātmani |
draṣṭṛdarśanadṛśyākhyo viśvātmā pratyayaḥ kutaḥ || 8 ||

Tell me, how can we intermingle the impure conception of the universal or mundane soul representing the mundees or universe, with the pure idea of the supreme soul, which is ever calm, quiet and transparent.
