अतःप्रभृति शून्येयं भ्रान्तिरभ्युदिता नवा ।
कुतः केव किल भ्रान्तिर्ब्रह्मैव तदनामयम् ॥ ४ ॥

ataḥprabhṛti śūnyeyaṃ bhrāntirabhyuditā navā |
kutaḥ keva kila bhrāntirbrahmaiva tadanāmayam || 4 ||

It is since the creation, that the primeval vacuum began to present, the blunder or falsity of the world in itself; but how and whence arose this blunder, unless it were the presentation of Brahma himself.
