समस्तकारणाकारप्रत्यस्तमयरूपिणि ।
सर्गादावेव भूतानि संभवन्ति न कानिचित् ॥ ४ ॥

samastakāraṇākārapratyastamayarūpiṇi |
sargādāveva bhūtāni saṃbhavanti na kānicit || 4 ||

This infinite and eternal void, being entirely devoid of all the material causes (i.e. earth, air, water and fire, which are necessary for the production of anything); it is impossible that creation could come out from this nothing in the beginning.
