तज्जः स एव भवति वह्नेर्वह्निरिवोत्थितः ।
जन्योऽयं जनकश्चायमित्युक्ता भेदकल्पना ॥ २१ ॥

tajjaḥ sa eva bhavati vahnervahnirivotthitaḥ |
janyo'yaṃ janakaścāyamityuktā bhedakalpanā || 21 ||

It is tajja, as when we say "fire proceeds from fire" (meaning, the "mundane Brahma comes out of the spiritual Brahma." Here fire is symbolical of Brahma and the world). It is tanmaya in the expression "Brahma is the producer and produced"
