Verse 18

¹⁴Are you not Narayana, the self of all who wear bodies, the ruler, the witness of every world? Narayana is a portion of you, since he lies on the water born of Man; and that too is real, and no maya of yours. ¹⁵And if that real world-body of yours stands in the water, why did I not see it then, Bhagavan? Or if it was seen well in my heart then, why was it not shown to me again at once? ¹⁶In this very descent, which puts maya down, you have shown your mother plainly that this whole spread-out world, clear enough outside and whole again inside your belly, is nothing but maya. ¹⁷All this shines with himself in whose belly it lies, just as it does; and that same whole thing is in you here. What is this if not maya?

¹⁸This very day, have you not shown me that this is maya apart from you? First you are one; then you are all the friends and the calves of Vraja; then just so many four-armed ones, worshipped by me along with all of them; then you became just so many worlds; and what is left is the measureless Brahman without a second.
