Verse 6.51.17

तस्यास्त उपदेशाय सेयं जीवादिकल्पना ।
कृता शास्त्रैः प्रबोधाय तां त्वमेकमनाः श्रृणु ॥ १७ ॥

tasyāsta upadeśāya seyaṃ jīvādikalpanā |
kṛtā śāstraiḥ prabodhāya tāṃ tvamekamanāḥ śrṛṇu || 17 ||

Now hear me attentively to tell you the sastras that they have invented, in order to propagate their agnostic religion or belief in this avidya, by setting up the living soul and others in lieu of the supreme spirit.
