Verse 4.45.17

मृगतृष्णा यथा तापान्मनसो निश्चयात्तथा ।
असन्त इव दृश्यन्ते सर्वे ब्रह्मादयोऽप्यमी ॥ १७ ॥

mṛgatṛṣṇā yathā tāpānmanaso niścayāttathā |
asanta iva dṛśyante sarve brahmādayo'pyamī || 17 ||

As the mirage is made to appear by the heat of the sun, so do these false appearances seem as true to thee from the certainty of thy mind. So also are Brahma and others but creatures of thy fancy.
