एतत्त्रिलोकतां यातं ब्रह्मेत्युक्तार्थधीः कुतः ।
तस्मान्नो संभवत्येषा जगच्छब्दार्थकल्पना ॥ २९ ॥

etattrilokatāṃ yātaṃ brahmetyuktārthadhīḥ kutaḥ |
tasmānno saṃbhavatyeṣā jagacchabdārthakalpanā || 29 ||

For how can one derive the knowledge of the unity of God from his belief in the duality of the separate existence of the world? Therefore the figurative sense of cosmos as God (Viswa) can not give the spiritual and infinite idea of Brahma.
