Verse 7.171.10

यथा पुरतया भाति मनः संकल्पमन्थरम् ।
तथा दृश्यमिवाभाति सर्गादौ चिन्नभः परम् ॥ १० ॥

yathā puratayā bhāti manaḥ saṃkalpamantharam |
tathā dṛśyamivābhāti sargādau cinnabhaḥ param || 10 ||

As the idle thoughts of the mind, present themselves as airy castles in our sleep; so doth the vacuum of the supreme Intellect, exhibit the appearance of the creation in its own empty space.
