Just as the consciousness-space (cit-nabhaḥ) itself manifests as if within consciousness-space, and just as liquid water (payodrava) manifests as if within water (payas); so too, whatever comes into being (kacati) does so from the intrinsic nature (cittva) of consciousness (cit). By that [consciousness] alone, this entire universe (jagat) is created.
