māyādyair navabhis tattvaiḥsa vikāra-mayo virāṭnirmito dṛśyate yatrasa-citke bhuvana-trayam

Translation:

The universal form [virāṭ] of the Personality of Godhead includes the nine basic elements of creation, starting with the unmanifest nature, and their subsequent transformations. Once this universal form is instilled with consciousness, the three planetary systems become visible within it.

Purport:

The nine basic elements of creation are prakṛti, sūtra, mahat-tattva, false ego, and the five subtle perceptions. The transformations are the eleven senses and the five gross material elements.
