संसारसंस्थानमिदमेवमाकथितं मया ॥ ५ ॥

saṃsārasaṃsthānamidamevamākathitaṃ mayā || 5 ||

I have told you at first that a non-entity sprang in the beginning from the entity of God, and this non-entity being stretched out afterwards (in the form of illusion), gave rise to this illusory world called the cosmos.
