Verse 3.5.23

शुद्धसंविन्मयत्वाद्यः खं भवेद्व्योमचिन्तया ।
पदार्थचिन्तयार्थत्वमिव तिष्ठत्यधिष्ठितः ॥ २३ ॥

śuddhasaṃvinmayatvādyaḥ khaṃ bhavedvyomacintayā |
padārthacintayārthatvamiva tiṣṭhatyadhiṣṭhitaḥ || 23 ||

It is he who from his personality of pure consciousness, became of the form of vacuum (pervading all nature), and then by means of his vacuous mind and empty thoughts filled it with substances, wherein his soul was to reside, and whereon his spirit had to preside.
