ॐ न वियदश्रुतेः ॐ ॥ २-३-१॥

Space is not (a created thing), since this is not heard of in (some of) the Upanishads.

english translation

ॐ अस्ति तु ॐ ॥ २-३-२॥

But there is (a mention of the origin of space).

english translation

ॐ गौण्यसम्भवात् ॐ ॥ २-३-३॥

(The Upanishadic passage about creation of space has) a secondary sense, for real creation is impossible.

english translation

ॐ शब्दाच्च ॐ ॥ २-३-४॥

And (this is borne out) by Vedic texts.

english translation

ॐ स्याच्चैकस्य ब्रह्मशब्दवत् ॐ ॥ २-३-५॥

And it is possible for the same word (“originated”) to have (primary and secondary senses) like the word Brahman.
