न कदाचन जायन्ते नभसः पादपाद्रयः ।
ब्रह्मणश्च जयन्तीति मत्वा शान्तिं परां व्रज ॥ १६ ॥

na kadācana jāyante nabhasaḥ pādapādrayaḥ |
brahmaṇaśca jayantīti matvā śāntiṃ parāṃ vraja || 16 ||

Know O Rama, that is nothing like a rock or tree, is produced in empty vacuity; so these seeming solid worlds, can never be produced in the vacuous spirit of Brahma (but are all mere phantoms of what they appear to be) know this, and go on freely in your own way.
