Verse 7.168.47

इयं बुद्धिरियं चित्तमयं काल इदं नभः ।
अयं सोऽहं क्रिया चेयमिदं तन्मात्रपञ्चकम् ॥ ४७ ॥

iyaṃ buddhiriyaṃ cittamayaṃ kāla idaṃ nabhaḥ |
ayaṃ so'haṃ kriyā ceyamidaṃ tanmātrapañcakam || 47 ||

It imagines itself as the understanding and the mind also; and to be the reservoir of space and time. It deems itself as the root of the knowledge of I, thou, he, and others, and as the quintessence of the quintuple elements.
