Verse 2.136
Sanskrit text and transliteration:
तस्मात्सत्यादियाथात्म्यं तस्मादित्येवमादिना ।
वक्ष्यते ब्रह्मणः सम्यक्सृष्टिव्याजेन यत्नतः ॥ १३६ ॥
tasmātsatyādiyāthātmyaṃ tasmādityevamādinā |

English translation of verse 2.136:

Notes:
The Upaniṣad proceeds to give, beginning from the text tasmādvā etasmāt, an account of creation. The purpose of narrating creation is not to show that the world which is created is real, but to set forth the true nature of Brahman as real, knowledge, and infinite. Scripture makes use of the account of creation as a pretext (vyāja), as a convenient means, as a methodological device, for stating the absolute reality of Brahman and the illusory nature of the world.
