खं पृथ्व्यादितया बुद्धं पृथ्व्यादि भवति क्षणात् । मूर्छायां परलोकोऽपि प्रत्यक्षमनुभूयते ॥ ४९ ॥
khaṁ pṛthvyāditayā buddhaṁ pṛthvyādi bhavati kṣaṇāt | mūrchāyāṁ paralōkō’pi pratyakṣamanubhūyatē || 49 ||
Translation
Space, understood as earth and the rest, becomes earth and the rest in a moment; in a swoon even the next world is experienced as if before one's eyes.
