भावयञ्छब्दनिर्माता शब्दैर्बध्नाति कल्पितैः ।
आतिवाहिकदेहोऽसावित्यसत्यजगद्भ्रमे ॥ ३७ ॥

bhāvayañchabdanirmātā śabdairbadhnāti kalpitaiḥ |
ātivāhikadeho'sāvityasatyajagadbhrame || 37 ||

The mind is the inventor of words, expressive of ideas (in the soul), and subjects itself to the arbitary sounds of its own invention. Hence God is erroneously said to be embodied in words (sabda Brahma of Mimansa philosophy) in this world of errors.
