Verse 7.59.54

महाकर्तृण्यकर्तॄणि न कृतान्येव खानि वा ।
स्वयं संपन्नरूपाणि चिद्व्योन्येव कृतानि वा ॥ ५४ ॥

mahākartṛṇyakartṝṇi na kṛtānyeva khāni vā |
svayaṃ saṃpannarūpāṇi cidvyonyeva kṛtāni vā || 54 ||

Those that are called the great causes of creation, are no causes of it; nor are those that are said to be created, created all, but all is a perfect void. They have sprung of themselves in the vacuity of the Intellect.
