Verse 6.47.29

पिच्छपक्षौघकाठिन्यं मयूराण्डरसे यथा ।
चिति तत्त्वेऽस्ति नानाता तदभिव्यञ्जनात्मनि ॥ २९ ॥

picchapakṣaughakāṭhinyaṃ mayūrāṇḍarase yathā |
citi tattve'sti nānātā tadabhivyañjanātmani || 29 ||

As the soft and liquid yolk of the egg of a peahen, contains in it the toughness and various colours of the future quills and feathers; so there are varieties of all kinds inhering in the Divine Intellect, and requiring to be developed in time.
