द्वाभ्यां चैतन्यजाड्याभ्यां भूतानि प्रस्फुरन्ति हि ।
यथा तमःप्रकाशाभ्यामहोरात्रा महीतले ॥ १०१ ॥

dvābhyāṃ caitanyajāḍyābhyāṃ bhūtāni prasphuranti hi |
yathā tamaḥprakāśābhyāmahorātrā mahītale || 101 ||

It is by means of the two opposite principles of the intelligent soul and inert matter, that all things exist in the universe; in the same manner, as the two contraries of light and darkness bring on the day and night in regular succession.
