Verse 6.96.46

चमत्कुर्वन्त्यमी भावाः पञ्चके मिथुनौघवत् ।
चिन्मात्र एव चिन्मात्रं चिन्मात्रेणावधीयते ॥ ४६ ॥

camatkurvantyamī bhāvāḥ pañcake mithunaughavat |
cinmātra eva cinmātraṃ cinmātreṇāvadhīyate || 46 ||

These existences being composed of the five elements, produce many other beings;as the copulations of the male and female, produce their offspring in infinity; so the divine intellect being joined with the illusory intelligence, presents endless form to our view.
