चतुर्मुखोऽग्रके चायं भूतसूक्ष्मव्यवस्थितः ।
लिङ्गमव्याकृते सूक्ष्मे न्यस्याव्यक्ते च बुद्धिमान् ॥ २० ॥

caturmukho'grake cāyaṃ bhūtasūkṣmavyavasthitaḥ |
liṅgamavyākṛte sūkṣme nyasyāvyakte ca buddhimān || 20 ||

The former or intramundane half, which is composed of the quadruple subtile elements, is represented by the figure of the four faced Brahma;and differs from the former by its being an evolution of unevolved spirit.
