प्रकृतिव्रततिर्व्योम्नि जाता ब्रह्माण्डसत्फला ।

His nature (Prakriti) spreads herself like a magic creeper (maya lata) all over the space of vacuity, and produces the fair fruit in the form of the mundane egg (Brahmanda); while the outward organs of bodies, resembling the branches of this plant, keep dancing about the stem (the intelligent soul), shaken by the breeze of life which is everfleeting.
