मनो मोहे तु कर्तृ स्यात्कारणं च जगत्स्थितेः ।
विश्वरूपतयैवेदं तनोति मलिनं मनः ॥ ४ ॥

mano mohe tu kartṛ syātkāraṇaṃ ca jagatsthiteḥ |
viśvarūpatayaivedaṃ tanoti malinaṃ manaḥ || 4 ||

The mind is the cause of error, and it is the mind which is the framer of the world. The mind also stretches itself in the form of the universe (Viswarupa) in its gross state.
