Verse 7.86.54

यद्वन्न जायते तद्वद्भूतानां भ्रमतां भवेत् ।
आयान्ति यान्त्यनन्तानि भूतानीह भवद्भ्रमैः ॥ ५४ ॥

yadvanna jāyate tadvadbhūtānāṃ bhramatāṃ bhavet |
āyānti yāntyanantāni bhūtānīha bhavadbhramaiḥ || 54 ||

Again there is a delusion, that presents us many appearances which never come to existence; and it is this which shows us an infinite train of things, coming in and passing and disappearing like magic shows (or maya) in this illusive world.
