आत्मन्यकारणेनैव भूतानां कारणेन च ।
सृष्ट्यर्थं वपुरात्तं हि वासुदेवमयात्मना ॥ २० ॥

ātmanyakāraṇenaiva bhūtānāṃ kāraṇena ca |
sṛṣṭyarthaṃ vapurāttaṃ hi vāsudevamayātmanā || 20 ||

The world has no other cause, but the divine spirit; which with the assistance of the causal elements, takes different forms on itself at the time of creation; and therefore it is the spirit of Hari that constitutes the world.
