Verse 7.207.20

संविद्व्योम घनं ब्रह्म तत्सकल्पपुरं विराट् ।
शुद्धसंविन्मयो ब्रह्मा तदिदं जगदुच्यते ॥ २० ॥

saṃvidvyoma ghanaṃ brahma tatsakalpapuraṃ virāṭ |
śuddhasaṃvinmayo brahmā tadidaṃ jagaducyate || 20 ||

It is the dense vacuum of self-consciousness, which is called the great Brahma or the personal god of creation; and it is the display of his will in the concrete, which is known as Virat or the visible universe; thus is the pure and discrete consciousness of Brahma, condensed into the form of the world.
