सर्ग एव न सर्गोऽयं ब्रह्मेत्थं किल तिष्ठति ।
यत्र तत्र क्व कर्माणि कानि वा कस्य तानि वा ॥ ४२ ॥

sarga eva na sargo'yaṃ brahmetthaṃ kila tiṣṭhati |
yatra tatra kva karmāṇi kāni vā kasya tāni vā || 42 ||

But this creation is no act of creation, but verily the manifestations of Brahma himself; and such being the case (that the world is the selfsame Brahma), say what can acts mean, whence they proceed and where they lie.
