श्रीराम उवाच ।
तस्मादियमिति ब्रहन्व्यतिरेकार्थपञ्चमी ।
ननु किं विद्धि देवेशादभिन्नं सर्वमित्यपि ॥ १८ ॥

śrīrāma uvāca |
tasmādiyamiti brahanvyatirekārthapañcamī |
nanu kiṃ viddhi deveśādabhinnaṃ sarvamityapi || 18 ||

Rama rejoined:—Sir, your affirmation of the first cause in the ablative case, "that all things proceed from Brahma", is opposed to the negative passage in the Sruti in the same case, that "nothing is distinct from Him";and is inconsistent in itself.
