एवं हि कारणाभावाच्चेत्यस्यासंभवादिति ।
नासौ चित्तं ततश्चेत्यं यत्नतश्चेत्यते यया ॥ ५ ॥

evaṃ hi kāraṇābhāvāccetyasyāsaṃbhavāditi |
nāsau cittaṃ tataścetyaṃ yatnataścetyate yayā || 5 ||

Thus there being no causality of the mind, there cannot be its causations of the thinkable world also. Therefore the intellect only is the cause of thought, and neither the mind nor the thinkable world (which produces or impresses the thought). The gloss says that, "the intellect whereby the mind thinks, is not the mind nor its dependant or the objective thinkable world; but it is the pure subjective self-same intellect only."
