The Mandukya Upanishad is a short, just twelve verses, description of the material manifestation and the eventual return to unmanifest form of the Universe....

Verse 13

13. For whom that is, in whose opinion, the effect is originated from the unoriginated cause, for him there is assuredly no illustration to corroborate his theory; and in the case of the effect being originated from the originated, there would be the undesirable contingency of the regressus ad infinitum.

We have further argument to resolve. The case of the unoriginated cause, causing the originated effect (of the Primal eternal Absolute). This verse concludes there is no evidence or example to support this theory. Further if the effect was originated from the originated then this would lead to infinite regression.
