Verse 4.11.23

मनो मनननिर्माणमात्रमेतज्जगत्त्रयम् ।
न सन्नासदिव स्फारमुदितं नेतरन्मुने ॥ २३ ॥

mano manananirmāṇamātrametajjagattrayam |
na sannāsadiva sphāramuditaṃ netaranmune || 23 ||

It was the (Divine) mind, that formed the world from its thought;wherefore the phenomenal is neither a substance by itself (as it subsists in the mind); nor is it nothing (being in existence in us). Gloss. It is therefore undefinable—anirvachaniya.
