श्रीराम उवाच ।
एतद्ब्रह्मन्कदा नाम तन्न चेतितवन्मुने ।
निरावृतमनाद्यन्तं किमिदानीं प्रचेतति ॥ ८ ॥

śrīrāma uvāca |
etadbrahmankadā nāma tanna cetitavanmune |
nirāvṛtamanādyantaṃ kimidānīṃ pracetati || 8 ||

Rama rejoined:—Tell me sir, how does the divine mind come to think of and brood upon his creation; when the eternal intellect is ever employed in its process of intellection. The course of Divine thought being unobstructed from eternity to eternity, its even tenor cannot be supposed to be now and then turned to the act of creation, or even said to be brought in its action and motion, since the time that this creation first began to exist.
