Verse 7.208.10

राजोवाच ।
किं नोपलभ्यते पूर्वं किं पश्चादुपलभ्यते ।
जगच्चलद्वपुरिदं सुस्थिरारम्भभास्वरम् ॥ १० ॥

rājovāca |
kiṃ nopalabhyate pūrvaṃ kiṃ paścādupalabhyate |
jagaccaladvapuridaṃ susthirārambhabhāsvaram || 10 ||

The king said:—Tell me sir, if the world was the production of the divine will, why was it not known to exist before with the eternity of the Will divine, and why and when it come to be manifested and known to others afterwards; tell me also, whether the world is an unstable and vanishing appearance in the air, or it has any fixity in the divine mind or stability in nature.
