यो देहो या च कलना यद्दृश्यं यौ क्षयाक्षयौ ।
या भावरचना योऽर्थस्तया तद्ब्रह्म ब्रह्मणि ॥ ४१ ॥

yo deho yā ca kalanā yaddṛśyaṃ yau kṣayākṣayau |
yā bhāvaracanā yo'rthastayā tadbrahma brahmaṇi || 41 ||

All bodies with their various modes, and organs of sense and their several functions, and all visible objects and their growth and decay, together with every thing conducing to our happiness and misery, and all other energies and their gains, are the works of Brahma in himself.
