न कदाचिदुदेतीदं परस्मान्न च शाम्यति ।
इत्थं स्थितं केवलं सद्ब्रह्म स्वात्मनि संस्थितम् ॥ १३ ॥

na kadācidudetīdaṃ parasmānna ca śāmyati |
itthaṃ sthitaṃ kevalaṃ sadbrahma svātmani saṃsthitam || 13 ||

But this appearance of the world is not caused by another (as in the case of the pillar, figures and pictures carved and painted by the hands of the statuary and painter). It rises, lasts and sets spontaneously and of itself in the self-same essence of Brahma, (as the figures in the tree or the waves of the Ocean). It is the property of the divine soul and mind to raise and set such imageries in them by turns, like the creations of our imagination.{GL_NOTE:73112:}
