एवंरूपैव हि परे विद्यते सर्गसंततिः ।
न वास्तवी वस्तुता तु संस्थितैवमवस्तुनि ॥ १४ ॥

evaṃrūpaiva hi pare vidyate sargasaṃtatiḥ |
na vāstavī vastutā tu saṃsthitaivamavastuni || 14 ||

So the creation of the world, and all created things, are situated (pictured) in the mind of Brahma; and make their repeated appearance, as the phantoms of a phantasmagoria before him.
