आधिभौतिकता नास्ति रज्ज्वामिव भुजङ्गता ।
ब्रह्मादयः प्रबुद्धास्तु कथं तिष्ठन्ति तत्र ते ॥ ३१ ॥

ādhibhautikatā nāsti rajjvāmiva bhujaṅgatā |
brahmādayaḥ prabuddhāstu kathaṃ tiṣṭhanti tatra te || 31 ||

There is no such thing as materiality, which is as false a conception as that of a snake in a rope. Hence it is no way possible for Brahma and other beings to exist as individual bodies.
