Verse 4.36.11

चिच्चिनोति चितं चेत्यं तेनेदं स्थितमात्मनि ।
अज्ञेऽज्ञे त्वन्यदायातमन्यदस्तीति कल्पना ॥ ११ ॥

ciccinoti citaṃ cetyaṃ tenedaṃ sthitamātmani |
ajñe'jñe tvanyadāyātamanyadastīti kalpanā || 11 ||

The various states of the intellect (Chit), intellection (Chinta), intelligence (Chittam) and intelligibles (Chetyas), all appertain to the main principle of the soul. They are differently conceived by the learned and ignorant, but the difference is a mere conceit.
