Verse 7.80.59

चितौ संकल्पनगरं ब्रह्माण्डाख्यं जगद्गृहम् ।
खे खमेवाप्यनाकारं प्रत्याकारमिव स्थितम् ॥ ५९ ॥

citau saṃkalpanagaraṃ brahmāṇḍākhyaṃ jagadgṛham |
khe khamevāpyanākāraṃ pratyākāramiva sthitam || 59 ||

These habitable worlds forming the universe, are but imaginary cities and creations of the Intellect; they are but airy representations of the airy mind, as the formless sky is represented in empty vacuity, and appearing in various forms unto us.
