तस्मात्स्वयं भवति नेह हि कश्चिदादौ ब्रह्मादयोऽज्ञविदिता न च नाम सन्ति ।
व्योमेदमाततमयं स इतः स्वयंभू रित्यादि चिद्गगनमेव चिता विभाति ॥ ११ ॥
व्योमेदमाततमयं स इतः स्वयंभू रित्यादि चिद्गगनमेव चिता विभाति ॥ ११ ॥
tasmātsvayaṃ bhavati neha hi kaścidādau brahmādayo'jñaviditā na ca nāma santi ,
vyomedamātatamayaṃ sa itaḥ svayaṃbhū rityādi cidgaganameva citā vibhāti 11
vyomedamātatamayaṃ sa itaḥ svayaṃbhū rityādi cidgaganameva citā vibhāti 11

Therefore there is nothing that sprang itself out of nothing at first, nor was there ever a creator called Brahma or other by the ignorant, in the beginning; there is nothing but an infinite void from eternity to eternity, which is filled by the self-born or increate spirit, whose intellect exhibits this creation, contained for ever and ever in its vacuity.
