अजडाज्जडतोदेति जाड्यभावनहेतुका ।
ऊर्णनाभाद्यथा तन्तुर्यथा पुंसः सुषुप्तता ॥ ५५ ॥

ajaḍājjaḍatodeti jāḍyabhāvanahetukā |
ūrṇanābhādyathā tanturyathā puṃsaḥ suṣuptatā || 55 ||

From the active agent, proceed the inert matter and inactivity without a secondary cause; as the active spider produces the passive thread, and the living man brings upon him, his dull torpor in sleep.
