वेदनामात्रसारत्वाद्यथा चित्सार उच्यते ।
द्रवत्वं सलिलस्येव चिदचित्त्वमकारणम् ॥ ६ ॥

vedanāmātrasāratvādyathā citsāra ucyate |
dravatvaṃ salilasyeva cidacittvamakāraṇam || 6 ||

The essential property of God being his intelligence, he is said to be of essence of intellect; and as fluidity is the property of water, so is intelligence the essential property of everything; and there is no reason to suppose an unintelligent principle as the prime cause of all.
