बुद्ध्यैव दृश्यते नाक्ष्णा परया विविधाकृति ।
क्वचित्प्रथमसर्गात्म जायमानप्रजापति ॥ २३ ॥

buddhyaiva dṛśyate nākṣṇā parayā vividhākṛti |
kvacitprathamasargātma jāyamānaprajāpati || 23 ||

I saw them in my understanding, and not with my visual organs (which are both delusive and incapable of reaching so far); and beheld somewhere the first born Brahma—the lord of creatures.
