सहकारिकारणानामभावे कार्यकारणम् ।
एकमेतदतो नान्यः परस्मात्सर्गविभ्रमः ॥ १३ ॥

sahakārikāraṇānāmabhāve kāryakāraṇam |
ekametadato nānyaḥ parasmātsargavibhramaḥ || 13 ||

Want of a secondary agency, produces the equality of effects with their cause; (as the fruits and flowers of trees, are of the same kind with the parent tree, unless there rises a difference in them by cause of engraftments). Hence the uniformity of created things, proves the conception of their creation by a secondary cause, to be wholly erroneous.
