Verse 7.68.21

आतिवाहिकदेहत्वं प्रत्यक्षं प्रथमोदितम् ।
सत्यं सर्वगतं विद्धि मायैव त्वाधिभौतिकम् ॥ २१ ॥

ātivāhikadehatvaṃ pratyakṣaṃ prathamoditam |
satyaṃ sarvagataṃ viddhi māyaiva tvādhibhautikam || 21 ||

It is the subtile form (or idea) of a thing, that appears at first before the mind; which is afterwards represented in various false shapes before us; and this is true of all material things in the world. (As the general and abstract idea of heat, which is at first imprinted in the mind, is manifested unto us at last in the concrete and particular forms of the sun and fire and all others hot bodies.
