ऊर्णनाभाद्यथा तन्तुर्जायते चेतनाज्जडः ।

ūrṇanābhādyathā tanturjāyate cetanājjaḍaḥ |
nityaprabuddhātpuruṣādbrahmaṇaḥ prakṛtistathā || 71 ||

As the spider lets out its thread from itself, it is in the same manner that the inert has sprung from the intellect, and matter has come into existence from the ever active spirit of Brahma.
