ब्रह्मैव सर्गो भूतात्मा कर्म जन्मेति कल्पनाः ।
स्वयं कुर्वदिदं भाति विभुत्वात्कल्पितार्थभाक् ॥ ३७ ॥

brahmaiva sargo bhūtātmā karma janmeti kalpanāḥ |
svayaṃ kurvadidaṃ bhāti vibhutvātkalpitārthabhāk || 37 ||

In truth Brahma being the very creation or the great cosmos itself, is verily the soul of all beings; it is in vain therefore to suppose our prior acts as cause of our births. That God is the creator of the universe, is a mere assumption made from his omnipotence.
