बीजस्याकृतिमत्सर्वं तेनानाकृतिमत्पदम् ।
न युज्यते समीकर्तुं तस्मान्नास्त्युपमा शिवे ॥ २५ ॥

bījasyākṛtimatsarvaṃ tenānākṛtimatpadam |
na yujyate samīkartuṃ tasmānnāstyupamā śive || 25 ||

Brahma evolves himself in his creation and does not produce the world like the fruit from the seed; therefore know the world as the vacuous heart of Brahma, and is neither born nor unborn of itself.
