Verse 7.179.22

यत्सीकरस्फुरणमम्बुनिधौ शिवाख्ये व्योम्नीव वृक्षनिकरस्फुरणं स सर्गः ।
व्योम्न्येष वृक्षनिकरो व्यतिरिक्तरूपो ब्रह्माम्बुधौ न तु मनागपि सर्गबिन्दुः ॥ २२ ॥

yatsīkarasphuraṇamambunidhau śivākhye vyomnīva vṛkṣanikarasphuraṇaṃ sa sargaḥ |
vyomnyeṣa vṛkṣanikaro vyatiriktarūpo brahmāmbudhau na tu manāgapi sargabinduḥ || 22 ||

The creation is as the bursting bubble, or foam and froth of the mantling ocean of omnipotence; it appears as a wood and wilderness in the clouded face of the firmament, but disappears in the clear vacuous atmosphere of the Divine Mind; and there is no speck nor spot of creation in the infinite ocean of the Supreme Intellect.
