ततस्तेनेयमविद्या परिकल्पिता अनात्मन्यात्माभिमानमयीति तेन ब्रह्मणा गिरितृणजलधिमयमिदं क्रमेण जगत्परिकल्पितम् ॥ ६ ॥

tatasteneyamavidyā parikalpitā anātmanyātmābhimānamayīti tena brahmaṇā giritṛṇajaladhimayamidaṃ krameṇa jagatparikalpitam || 6 ||

The mind then framed or fell of itself, into the delusion (avidya), of viewing its ideal images as substantial (as one does in his delirium); and thence the phenomenal world (with whatever it contains), is said to be the work of Brahma.
