तिष्ठत्यनन्यरूपैव ब्रह्मसत्ता तथैव हि ।
यत्परं चित्स्वरूपेण स्थितमात्मनि मन्थरम् ॥ ४० ॥

tiṣṭhatyananyarūpaiva brahmasattā tathaiva hi |
yatparaṃ citsvarūpeṇa sthitamātmani mantharam || 40 ||

The essence of Brahma, always remains the same in his essential form of the intellect; though the turpitude of our understanding, will now represent him in one form and then in another at a different time and under different circumstances.
