viśvaṁ vai brahma-tan-mātraṁ saṁsthitaṁ viṣṇu-māyayā īśvareṇa paricchinnaṁ kālenāvyakta-mūrtinā
Translation
This cosmic manifestation is separated from the Supreme Lord as material energy by means of kāla, which is the unmanifested, impersonal feature of the Lord. It is situated as the objective manifestation of the Lord under the influence of the same material energy of Viṣṇu.
