ब्रह्म काश्चित्स्थिराः काश्चिदस्थिराः प्रतिभार्थवत् ।
देहावस्था इवात्मस्थाः स्थितमात्मनि खात्मनि ॥ ६ ॥

brahma kāścitsthirāḥ kāścidasthirāḥ pratibhārthavat |
dehāvasthā ivātmasthāḥ sthitamātmani khātmani || 6 ||

Brahma appears to remain permanent in some existences, as in the four elemental forms of earth etc.; while he seems to be transcient and evanescent in others, as in the frail bodies of mortal bodies, all of which abide in their aerial state in the vacuous spirit.
