Verse 3.54.11

तेजःकणोऽसौ स्थूलत्वमात्मनात्मनि विन्दति ।
असत्यमेव सत्याभं ब्रह्माण्डं तदिदं स्मृतम् ॥ ११ ॥

tejaḥkaṇo'sau sthūlatvamātmanātmani vindati |
asatyameva satyābhaṃ brahmāṇḍaṃ tadidaṃ smṛtam || 11 ||

This atomic spark then increased in its size in the divine spirit, and having no substance of itself, appeared what is commonly styled the ideal world.
