निरुपादानसंभारमभित्तावेव चेतति ।
ब्राह्मं कर्तृ जगच्चित्रं न कश्चिद्वा न किंचन ॥ २५ ॥

nirupādānasaṃbhāramabhittāveva cetati |
brāhmaṃ kartṛ jagaccitraṃ na kaścidvā na kiṃcana || 25 ||

But how is it to be known that the world is the mere thought or will of the Divine mind? Whereto it is said: It is the creative power of Brahma (called Brahma or Hiranyagarbha—the demiurgus), thought of forming the wondrous world in his mind (as it were he pictured it in himself), without the aid of any tool or instrument or means or ground for its construction; hence (it is plain), the world is merely ideal and nothing real, nor is there any cause or creator of it whatsoever.
