Verse 7.43.29

जगद्ब्रह्मपदार्थस्य संनिवेशः स तूत्तमः ।
ब्रह्मशब्दार्थरूपात्मा न जगच्छब्दकार्यभाक् ॥ २९ ॥

jagadbrahmapadārthasya saṃniveśaḥ sa tūttamaḥ |
brahmaśabdārtharūpātmā na jagacchabdakāryabhāk || 29 ||

It is good to know the world, as the ectype of the essence of Brahma; but the meaning of the word Brahma, being the universal soul, it does not apply in that sense to the changing world, and as the work of God.
