बीजं जहद्बीजवपुः फलीभूतं विलोक्यते ।
ब्रह्माजहन्निजवपुः फलं बीजे च संस्थितम् ॥ २४ ॥

bījaṃ jahadbījavapuḥ phalībhūtaṃ vilokyate |
brahmājahannijavapuḥ phalaṃ bīje ca saṃsthitam || 24 ||

The seed of the fruit bears a material form, but Brahma—the universal seed, has no form at all; therefore it is improper to compare the visible seed, with the invisible Brahma; who is beyond all comparison.
