A member in the BVP kindly identified the passage:

//Namaste,

These words are from Athava Veda Paippalaada Samhitaa 8.9.11.
"ब्रह्म दाशा ब्रह्म दासा ब्रह्मेमे कितवा उत ।
स्त्रीपुंसौ ब्रह्मणो जातौ स्त्रियो ब्रह्म उत वावन ।।"

The first link is for the pdf of the Atharva Paippalada samhita.

By reading the entire sukta, image of which is here:

  one can recall the famous Bh. Gita verse 'brahmarpanam brahma havih...'
where the idea 'everything is Brahman' is taught.

warm regards
