Verse 3.15.11

इदं त्वचेत्यचिन्मात्रं भानोर्भातं नभः प्रति ।
तथा सूक्ष्मं यथा मेघं प्रति संकल्पवारिदः ॥ ११ ॥

idaṃ tvacetyacinmātraṃ bhānorbhātaṃ nabhaḥ prati |
tathā sūkṣmaṃ yathā meghaṃ prati saṃkalpavāridaḥ || 11 ||

The dull world is the issue of the Intellect, like the beams of the sun in the sky. The light of the intellect, is as light as the rarefied rays of the sun; but it raises like the other, the huge clouds, to water the shooting seeds of plants.
