हेम्न्यस्ति देशकालान्ते कटकादि सकारणम् ।
ब्रह्मण्यदेशकालान्ते तथा जगदकारणम् ॥ २१ ॥

hemnyasti deśakālānte kaṭakādi sakāraṇam |
brahmaṇyadeśakālānte tathā jagadakāraṇam || 21 ||

As gold is transformed to bracelets at certain times and place, by means of some or other; so the spirit of God is transformed to the visible world at certain times, without any other assignable cause whatever.
