Verse 3.122.57

कर्मात्मकं प्रथममेव मनोऽभ्युदेति संकल्पतः कमलजप्रकृतीस्तदेत्य ।
नानाभिधं जगदिदं हिं मुधा तनोति वेतालदेहकलनामिव मुग्धबालः ॥ ५७ ॥

karmātmakaṃ prathamameva mano'bhyudeti saṃkalpataḥ kamalajaprakṛtīstadetya |
nānābhidhaṃ jagadidaṃ hiṃ mudhā tanoti vetāladehakalanāmiva mugdhabālaḥ || 57 ||

The mind sprouts out at first from the supreme soul with all its activities, and takes upon it the nature of the lotus-born Brahma by its desire of creation. It stretches out a variety of worlds by its creative will, which are also as the fancied apparitions, appearing before the imaginations of deluded boys.
