अकारणकमेवातो ब्रह्म सिद्धमिदं स्थितम् ।
प्रत्यक्षमेव निर्मातृ तस्यांशास्त्वनुमादयः ॥ ३३ ॥

akāraṇakamevāto brahma siddhamidaṃ sthitam |
pratyakṣameva nirmātṛ tasyāṃśāstvanumādayaḥ || 33 ||

Hence the world is without a cause (because it is an unreality and not caused by any one). All existence is evidently Brahma himself, the perceptible cause of all. Hence perception (pratyaxa) is the basis of evidence, and inference and others as analogy and verbal testimony are but parts of it.
