Verse 6.7.41

स्फुरन्त्याकस्मिकोद्धूता विचित्रद्रव्यशक्तयः ।
स्वभावमात्रसंपन्नाः स्पन्दश्रिय इवाम्भसः ॥ ४१ ॥

sphurantyākasmikoddhūtā vicitradravyaśaktayaḥ |
svabhāvamātrasaṃpannāḥ spandaśriya ivāmbhasaḥ || 41 ||

It is by a fortuitous combination of qualities, that all things present themselves unto us with their various properties; and it is the nature of these which exhibits them with those forms as they present to us; as she gives the property of vibration to the elementary bodies, which show themselves in the forms of water and air unto us.
