Shri Rama Gita

siva.sh/shri-rama-gita/38

विकल्पमायारहिते चिदात्मके- ऽहङ्कार एष प्रथमः प्रकल्पितः । अध्यास एवात्मनि सर्वकारणे निरामये ब्रह्मणि केवले परे ॥ ३८॥

sanskrit

In Brahman, which is untouched by the projections of Maya – in that pure Consciousness, ever pure, first arises an egocentric self-consciousness. This is a mere superimposition upon the Self.
