Verse 6.11.19

तथा पदार्थलक्ष्म्येत्थमिदं ब्रह्म विवर्धते ।
गृह्यते ब्रह्मणा ब्रह्म भुज्यते ब्रह्म ब्रह्मणा ॥ १९ ॥

tathā padārthalakṣmyetthamidaṃ brahma vivardhate |
gṛhyate brahmaṇā brahma bhujyate brahma brahmaṇā || 19 ||

It is thus the same Brahma that appears to us in all the various forms of our perception, and in the different shapes of the actor, action and its act, as those of the feeder, feeding and the food, and of the receiver, reception and the thing received. (There being but the only unity of God, the same is changed to all forms of action and passion and so says the poet "that change through all and yet in all the same"and also unvaried in all with a varied name. This the vedanta says to be the vivarta rupa or the one changed in many form vividha many, and varta let vertuus changed [Sanskrit: paribatta].
