Verse 7.164.11

तस्मात्स्वयं भवति नेह हि कश्चिदादौ ब्रह्मादयोऽज्ञविदिता न च नाम सन्ति ।
व्योमेदमाततमयं स इतः स्वयंभू रित्यादि चिद्गगनमेव चिता विभाति ॥ ११ ॥

tasmātsvayaṃ bhavati neha hi kaścidādau brahmādayo'jñaviditā na ca nāma santi |
vyomedamātatamayaṃ sa itaḥ svayaṃbhū rityādi cidgaganameva citā vibhāti || 11 ||

Therefore there is nothing that sprang itself out of nothing at first, nor was there ever a creator called Brahma or other by the ignorant, in the beginning; there is nothing but an infinite void from eternity to eternity, which is filled by the self-born or increate spirit, whose intellect exhibits this creation, contained for ever and ever in its vacuity.
