तथा ब्रह्म मनो भूत्वा बोधाद्ब्रह्म परं भवेत् ।
रसकारणकं बीजं फलभावेन जृम्भते ॥ २० ॥

tathā brahma mano bhūtvā bodhādbrahma paraṃ bhavet |
rasakāraṇakaṃ bījaṃ phalabhāvena jṛmbhate || 20 ||

So the productive seed proceeding from Brahma, displays itself in the form of the world. But as no body can say what is the cause of the sap in the seed, so no one can tell why the spirit of God, teems with productive seed (of Brahma) in it.
