Verse 7.29.78

न च नास्तिकोपलम्भात्संवित्तेरस्तिता च नैवाजे ।
ग्राह्यग्राहकदृष्टेरसंभवादस्ति किंचिदपि ॥ ७८ ॥

na ca nāstikopalambhātsaṃvitterastitā ca naivāje |
grāhyagrāhakadṛṣṭerasaṃbhavādasti kiṃcidapi || 78 ||

The existence of consciousness in the uncreated spirit, or in other words, the existence of a self-conscious eternal Intellect, cannot be denied of God; according to sophistry of Atheists; for though our knowledge of recipient and received (i.e. of the container and contained) is very imperfect, yet there is some one at the bottom that [is] ever perfect.
