Verse 4.44.33

जनयत्यात्मनो मोहमात्मस्थं चित्तलीलया ।
कदाचित्केवलं व्योम परमं पारवर्जितम् ॥ ३३ ॥

janayatyātmano mohamātmasthaṃ cittalīlayā |
kadācitkevalaṃ vyoma paramaṃ pāravarjitam || 33 ||

Though situated in the Supreme, yet the mind of Brahma is liable to the mistakes of its own making; and at times it quite forgets its having no beginning, middle nor end, like its source.
