आकारिणि यथा सौम्ये स्थितास्तोये महोर्मयः ।
अनाकृतौ तथा विश्वं स्थितं तत्सदृशं परे ॥ २७ ॥

ākāriṇi yathā saumye sthitāstoye mahormayaḥ |
anākṛtau tathā viśvaṃ sthitaṃ tatsadṛśaṃ pare || 27 ||

(In answer to the question how corporeal beings could proceed from the incorporeal Brahma). Vasishtha says:—As waves of various shapes rise and fall in the still and shapeless breast of the sea, so innumerable worlds of various forms, float about in the unaltered and formless vacuity of Brahma's bosom.
