पाषाणोदरलेखौघन्यायेनात्मनि तिष्ठता ।
ब्रह्मणा नियतिः सर्गो बुद्धोऽबोधवतेव खम् ॥ १६ ॥

pāṣāṇodaralekhaughanyāyenātmani tiṣṭhatā |
brahmaṇā niyatiḥ sargo buddho'bodhavateva kham || 16 ||

The unwaking spirit of God reflected various images in itself (as in a dream), likening to the reflection of a dense forest in the lens of a crystal stone: and these were understood by the demiurgus Brahma, as the prototype of the destined creation, in the hollow sphere of the Divine mind.
