यश्चिद्व्योमचमत्कारः किलाकारानुभूतिमान् ।
स चिद्व्योमैव नो तस्य कारणत्वं न कार्यता ॥ ५० ॥

yaścidvyomacamatkāraḥ kilākārānubhūtimān |
sa cidvyomaiva no tasya kāraṇatvaṃ na kāryatā || 50 ||

It is of the form of the wonderfully vacuous intellect, having the faculty of cognition in it. Thus the intellect being but vacuum, has neither any cause for it, nor any effect produced by it.
