104. Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 6, Ch. 16
TRANSLATION
As pots made completely of earth are situated on earth after
being created and are transformed into earth again when broken,
this cosmic manifestation is caused by the Supreme Brahman, situ-
ated in the Supreme Brahman, and annihilated in the same
Supreme Brahman. Therefore, since the Supreme Lord is the
cause of Brahman, let us offer Him our respectful obeisances.
PURPORT
The Supreme Lord is the cause of the cosmic manifestation, He main-
tains it after creation, and after annihilation the Lord is the reservoir of
everything.

TRANSLATION
The Supreme Brahman emanates from the Supreme Personality
of Godhead and expands like the sky. Although untouched by any-
thing material, it exists within and without. Nonetheless, the
mind, intelligence, senses and living force can neither touch Him
nor know Him. I offer unto Him my respectful obeisances.
