प्रतिशब्दपदार्थानां सर्वेषामेष एव सः ।
तस्मादुदेति जीवाली दीपाली दीपकादिव ॥ १० ॥

pratiśabdapadārthānāṃ sarveṣāmeṣa eva saḥ |
tasmādudeti jīvālī dīpālī dīpakādiva || 10 ||

Though thus negated of all predicates, yet is Brahma the soul of all predicables, that may be affirmed or denied of him; (since he is all in all). He is the source of these chains of living beings, as light is the cause of a line of lighted lamps in illuminations.
