81. Thereupon, memory (smṛti) was formed by the mind (manas) and the ego (ahaṅkāra). By these three (mind, ego, and memory), the subtle elements (tanmātras) that had been experienced were then imagined. It is observed that, pertaining to these subtle elements (tanmātras), an arrangement (saṃniveśaḥ) is spontaneously imagined by the individual soul (jīva) as the self (ātman) of consciousness (citta), like the crow and the palm fruit, starting from Brahman as the material cause.
