पृथ्वी तोये तच्च वायुप्रतिष्ठं सोऽप्याकाशे स्यात्ततोऽलोकदेशः । यत्राकाशं द्रव्यमेकं विहाय, नान्यत्किञ्चिद्विद्यतेऽनन्त केऽस्मिन्
॥७९॥
Meaning :- The earth on which we all reside is resting on the waters of the ocean called Ghanodadhi. This Ghanodadhi is itself resting on the air technically called Ghanava which again has its basis the Tanava. And this Tanava again rests on the Akasa, space. Having gone beyond a certain part of this Akasa, the Aloka commences in which there is not to be found any substance excepting the Akasastikaya. There is merely Akasa which is limitless and therefore this Aloka also is Jimitless, endless, infinite. (79)
