Adhyātma Taxonomy: Elements, Faculties, and Guṇas
तदेवाणोरणुतरं तन््महद्धयो महत्तरम् । तदन्तःसर्वभूतानां ध्रुवं तिछन्न दृश्यते,वह लघुसे भी अत्यन्त लघु और महानसे भी अत्यन्त महान् है, वह निश्चय ही समस्त प्राणियोंके भीतर स्थित है तो भी किसीको दिखायी नहीं देता
tad evāṇor aṇutaraṃ tan mahaddhyo mahattaram | tad antaḥsarvabhūtānāṃ dhruvaṃ tiṣṭhan na dṛśyate ||
