द्रव्यमप्येष निर्द्रव्यो निर्द्रव्योऽपि हि द्रव्यवान् ।
अकायोऽपि महाकायो महाकायोऽप्यकायवान् ॥ १४ ॥

dravyamapyeṣa nirdravyo nirdravyo'pi hi dravyavān |
akāyo'pi mahākāyo mahākāyo'pyakāyavān || 14 ||

Though the deity is included under the category of substance, yet he is no substance at all; and though there be no substantiality in him, yet his spirit is the substratum of all things. (All along he is the figure of vaiparitya or opposition, which well applies to Brahma who is all and nil or the omnium et nullum, Sarvamasarvam.
