Verse 3.81.68

चेतनादृश्यनिर्माणं चित्करोत्यसदेव सत् ।
अकारणं मोहहेतुं हेमेव कटकभ्रमम् ॥ ६८ ॥

cetanādṛśyanirmāṇaṃ citkarotyasadeva sat |
akāraṇaṃ mohahetuṃ hemeva kaṭakabhramam || 68 ||

The intellect having the faculty of intellection (chetana), forms the thoughts of intelligibles (chetyas) within itself, which however unreal are erroneously viewed as real entities by its intellectual vision to its own deception, as it is caused by the appearance of jewellery in gold.
