Verse 7.178.51

कलनस्मृतिसंस्कारा दधत्यर्थं च नोदरे ।
प्राडवृष्टं कल्पनादीनामन्यैवार्थकुलावताम् ॥ ५१ ॥

kalanasmṛtisaṃskārā dadhatyarthaṃ ca nodare |
prāḍavṛṣṭaṃ kalpanādīnāmanyaivārthakulāvatām || 51 ||

Should the world be said to be the work of design, or of the reminiscence or former impression or of the Divine will; yet as these are but different powers of the Intellect, and are included under it; the world then proves to be the production of the intellect, under some one of its attributes as it is said before.
