संस्थानरचना चित्रा ब्रह्मणः कनकादिव ।
नान्यरूपा विमूढानां मृषैव द्वित्वभावना ॥ ४२ ॥

saṃsthānaracanā citrā brahmaṇaḥ kanakādiva |
nānyarūpā vimūḍhānāṃ mṛṣaiva dvitvabhāvanā || 42 ||

The production of these various beings in esse, is from the essence of Brahma; as the formation of different ornaments, is from the substance of gold. There is no other formal cause or formation distinct from Brahma, and the typo for distinction of the cause and its creation, is the erroneous conception of the ignorant.
