ब्रह्मा संकल्पमात्रात्मा निराकृतिरिदं स्थितम् ।
जगदित्येव जातो मे निश्चयः कथयेतरत् ॥ ११ ॥

jagadityeva jāto me niścayaḥ kathayetarat || 11 ||

I well know that Brahma is wilful spirit of God, and has no form of himself; and so do I take this world, for a formless representation of the will or idea in the Divine Mind. Please sir, explain this clearly unto me.
