सर्गादौ तदृतेऽन्योऽर्थो महाप्रलयरूपिणि ।
अकाणरत्वान्नास्त्येव ब्रह्मैवेदमतस्ततम् ॥ ५ ॥

sargādau tadṛte'nyo'rtho mahāpralayarūpiṇi |
akāṇaratvānnāstyeva brahmaivedamatastatam || 5 ||

It is wrong to suppose the existence of a chaos before creation began, for that would be assigning another (chaotic) cause to the creation when [it] has proceeded from Brahma, who is without a cause and is diffused in his creation.
