अग्निर्यथैको भुवनं प्रविष्टो रूपं रूपं प्रतिरूपो बभूव । एकस्तथा सर्वभूतान्तरात्मा रूपं रूपं प्रतिरूपो बहिश्च ॥ ९॥

agniryathaiko bhuvanaṃ praviṣṭo rūpaṃ rūpaṃ pratirūpo babhūva । ekastathā sarvabhūtāntarātmā rūpaṃ rūpaṃ pratirūpo bahiśca ॥ 9॥

yathā = just as; agniḥ = fire; ekaḥ = is one; praviṣṭaḥ = having entered; bhuvanam = this world; rūpaṁ rūpaṁ = in conformity with each form [of combustible material]; prati rūpaḥ babhūva = takes on that form; tathā = similarly; sarva-bhūtāntar-ātmā = the Self that is in all beings; ekaḥ = though only one; rūpaṁ rūpaṁ = in conformity with each form [of physical body]; prati rūpaḥ = assumes that shape; bahiḥ ca = and yet it is outside [like space].
