असत्यां सत्यसंकाशां ब्रह्मास्ते जीवशब्दवत् ।
इत्थं स जीवशब्दार्थः कलनाकुलतां गतः ॥ ३३ ॥

asatyāṃ satyasaṃkāśāṃ brahmāste jīvaśabdavat |
itthaṃ sa jīvaśabdārthaḥ kalanākulatāṃ gataḥ || 33 ||

The word Jiva or the living soul (zoa), is brought under a figurative sense, 'to mean something real in the unreal body'. Hence Brahma is said to be the life and soul of the unreal world.
