सोऽकुड्य एव कुड्यात्मा दृश्यादृश्यः स्वयंस्थितः ।
न च दृश्यं न च द्रष्टा न स्रष्टा सर्वमेव च ॥ ९ ॥

so'kuḍya eva kuḍyātmā dṛśyādṛśyaḥ svayaṃsthitaḥ |
na ca dṛśyaṃ na ca draṣṭā na sraṣṭā sarvameva ca || 9 ||

Brahma, who is the reflector of all souls, is himself invisible in the inward mirror of other souls: (i. e. he reflects all images in himself, but never casts his own reflection upon any). He is neither the view nor the viewer, and neither the creation nor the creator himself.
