Verse 7.84.8

प्रकृतित्वेन सर्गस्य स्वयं प्रकृतितां गता ।
दृश्याभासानुभूतानां करणात्सोच्यते क्रिया ॥ ८ ॥

prakṛtitvena sargasya svayaṃ prakṛtitāṃ gatā |
dṛśyābhāsānubhūtānāṃ karaṇātsocyate kriyā || 8 ||

This power takes also the form of nature in her formation of the creation, and is called the creation itself, on account of her assuming on herself the representation of the phenomenal world.
