ब्रह्मणि प्रतिभासात्मा तन्मात्रगुणगोलकः ।
अवश्यायकणाभासो यथा स्फुरति तच्छ्रुतम् ॥ ३८ ॥

brahmaṇi pratibhāsātmā tanmātraguṇagolakaḥ |
avaśyāyakaṇābhāso yathā sphurati tacchrutam || 38 ||

Rama said:—Oh how wonderful is this world, which presents its unreality as a reality in all its endless forms unto us; and though situated in the Divine self, appears to be quite apart from it. O how it makes its minuteness seem so very immense to us.
