11. I will immediately think about multitudes of material productions, whereof O sun! I ordain thee as my first Manu or progeny, to produce all these for me. (The sun light was the first work of creation, and the measure of all created beings, by his days and nights or mornings and evenings). 12. Now produce all things as thou wilt, and according to my behest, at which the refulgent sun readily complied to my request. 13. Then this great luminary stood confest with his bipartite body of light and heat; with the first of which he shone as the sun in the midst of heaven. 14. With the other property of the heat of his body, he became my Manu or agent in the nether worlds. (The solar heat or calor, is the cause of growth upon earth). 15. And here he produced all things as I bade him do, in the course of the revolutions of his seasons. 16. Thus have I related to you, O sagely Vasishtha! all about the nature and acts of the mind, and omnipotence of the great soul; which infuses its might in the mind in its acts of creation and production. 17. Whatever reflexion is represented in the mind, the same is manifested in a visible form, and becomes compact and stands confest before it. (The ideal becomes visible or the noumenal is exprest in the phenomenal). 18. Look at the extraordinary power of the mind, which raised the ordinary Aindava Brahmans to the rank of Brahmá, by means of their conception of the same in themselves. 19. As the living souls of the Aindavas, were incorporated with Brahmá, by their intense thought of him in them (or by their mental absorption of themselves in him); so also have we attained to Brahmáhood, by means of our mental conception of that spiritual light and supreme intellect in ourselves. (So in our daily ritual,अहं ब्रह्म नचान्यस्मि, ब्रह्मैवास्मिन शौकभाक् । सच्चिदानन्दरूपोऽहं, नित्यमुक्त स्वभाववन् ॥ 20. The mind is full of its innate ideas, and the figure that lays a firm hold of it, the same appears exprest without it in a visible shape; or else there is no material substance beside one’s own mind. (This is the doctrine of conceptionalists, that all outward objects are but representations of our inborn ideas, in opposition to the belief of sensationalists, that the internal notions are reflections of our external sensations). 21. The mind is the wonderful attribute of the soul, and bears in itself many other properties like the inborn pungency of the pepper. (These inborn properties are the memory, imagination and other faculties of the mind). 22. These properties appear also as the mind, and are called its hyperphysical or mental faculties; while it is downright mistake on the part of some to understand them as belonging to the body. (The sánkhya materialists understand the internal faculties as products of the body and matter).
