Verse 4.39.9

क्व किलातीतमनःषष्ठेन्द्रियवृत्ति ब्रह्मतत्त्वं क्व भङ्गुरेयं तज्जा पदार्थश्रीरिति वचनरचना ।
यदि चायमारम्भो ब्रह्मण आपतितस्तदनेन तत्सदृशेनैव भवितव्यम् ॥ ९ ॥

kva kilātītamanaḥṣaṣṭhendriyavṛtti brahmatattvaṃ kva bhaṅgureyaṃ tajjā padārthaśrīriti vacanaracanā |
yadi cāyamārambho brahmaṇa āpatitastadanena tatsadṛśenaiva bhavitavyam || 9 ||

There is that nature of Brahma, which you said to be beyond the perception of the mind and senses, and what are these perishable things, which you say to have proceeded from him. If your reasoning comes to this end, I cannot then rely upon it.
