The mind soon evolves itself as a self-volitive power which exercises its desires at all times whereby this extensive magic scene of the world is displayed to our view. This scene is figured as Virajmurti, or manifestation of the desires of the will of Divine mind, and represented as the offspring of Brahma in the Indian Theogony.
