ब्रह्म ब्रह्मणि बृंहाभिर्ब्रह्मशक्त्येव बृंहति ।
ब्रह्म मच्छत्रुरूपं मे ब्रह्मणोऽप्रियकृद्यदि ॥ २० ॥

brahma brahmaṇi bṛṃhābhirbrahmaśaktyeva bṛṃhati |
brahma macchatrurūpaṃ me brahmaṇo'priyakṛdyadi || 20 ||

Brahma expands in himself by his power of evolution, or unfolding himself by his vivarta sakti; Hence He would be our enemy if he would do any thing unfavourable into us. (God is good and never does any evil to any one: all he does in and to himself)?
