Creation can be attributed only to the Brahman

I.1.6

गौणश्चेन्नात्मशब्दात् |

Gaunaschet na Atmasabdat 

The words Atman(Soul) are being applied to the cause of the world in the scriptures. Therefore the words seeing or thinking cannot be used in a secondary sense for the cause of the world

Gaunah(गौण): indirect, secondary, figurative; Chet(चेत्): if; Na(ना): not; Atmasabdat(अत्मशब्दात्): because of the word Atman, i.e., soul.

Commentary:

The scriptures use the terms Atman(Soul) for the cause of the world for e.g. "All this universe in essence is That; That is the Truth; That is Atman(Soul)". Atman is referred to as the intelligent principle while rules over the body and supports the Prana. Therefore the intelligent Atman cannot form the nature of the non-intelligent Pradhana(matter).
