Verse 4.1.25

मनःषष्ठेन्द्रियातीतं यत्स्यादतितरामणु ।
बीजं तद्भवितुं शक्तं स्वयंभूर्जगतां कथम् ॥ २५ ॥

manaḥṣaṣṭhendriyātītaṃ yatsyādatitarāmaṇu |
bījaṃ tadbhavituṃ śaktaṃ svayaṃbhūrjagatāṃ katham || 25 ||

The mind which is beyond the six organs of sense, is a very minute particle; and it cannot possibly be born of itself, nor become the seed of the universe.
