तृणं कर्तृ तृणं भोक्तृ ब्रह्मात्मत्वात्तृणं विभुः ।
घटः कर्ता घटो भोक्ता घटः सर्वेश्वरेश्वरः ॥ ३८ ॥

tṛṇaṃ kartṛ tṛṇaṃ bhoktṛ brahmātmatvāttṛṇaṃ vibhuḥ |
ghaṭaḥ kartā ghaṭo bhoktā ghaṭaḥ sarveśvareśvaraḥ || 38 ||

The maker of the terrene world, must have an earthly body; and the framer of the woody arbours must have a wooden frame, but the Lord God of all, has neither a corporeal body nor a material shape.
