Verse 7.164.10

पूर्वं किलोद्भवति किंचन नाम नेदं तच्चावभाति तदनादि खमेव चित्त्वात् ।
नो कारणं न सहकारि किलास्ति यत्र तस्मात्स्वयं भवति वस्त्विति केयमुक्तिः ॥ १० ॥

pūrvaṃ kilodbhavati kiṃcana nāma nedaṃ taccāvabhāti tadanādi khameva cittvāt |
no kāraṇaṃ na sahakāri kilāsti yatra tasmātsvayaṃ bhavati vastviti keyamuktiḥ || 10 ||

At first there was no creation of any kind, nor this world which appears to us (in its material form); it exists in its aerial form in the Divine Mind from all eternity; and there being no primary or secondary cause of it, how is it possible to call it a material thing of its own spontaneous growth.
