अनन्यच्छेदभेदादि ब्रह्मणि ब्रह्मणाम्बरम् ।
किं कथं कस्य केनैव च्छिद्यते वा क्व भिद्यते ॥ ७ ॥

ananyacchedabhedādi brahmaṇi brahmaṇāmbaram |
kiṃ kathaṃ kasya kenaiva cchidyate vā kva bhidyate || 7 ||

The indissoluble vacuum being the nature of Brahma, is inseparable from his essence; for nobody is ever able to divide the empty air in twain or remove it from its place.
