Verse 3.13.54

आकाश एव परमे प्रथमः प्रजेशो नित्यं स्वयं कचति शून्यतया समो यः ।
स ह्यातिवाहिकवपुर्नतु भूतरूपी पृथ्व्यादि तेन न सदस्ति यथा न जातम् ॥ ५४ ॥

ākāśa eva parame prathamaḥ prajeśo nityaṃ svayaṃ kacati śūnyatayā samo yaḥ |
sa hyātivāhikavapurnatu bhūtarūpī pṛthvyādi tena na sadasti yathā na jātam || 54 ||

Brahma the prime Lord of creatures, is ever manifest by himself in the form of vacuity in the Supreme spirit; and he being of a spiritual form as the mind, has no material body formed of earth as all other corporeal beings; and is therefore both real and unborn.
