तदेतत्सत्य यथा सुदीप्तात्पावकाद्विस्फुलिङ्गासहस्रशः प्रभवन्ते सरूपा ।तथाक्षराद्विविधा' सोम्य भावाप्रजायन्ते तत्र चैवापियन्ति ॥ १ ॥
In plain words
As a blazing fire sends forth thousands of sparks that share its nature, so, gentle friend, countless beings emerge from the Imperishable, and into that same Imperishable they dissolve again.
Close to the Sanskrit
That this truth is just as from a blazing fire sparks by thousands originate, sharing its form, so from the Imperishable, O gentle one, various beings are born, and into that very place they merge back.
