Verse 6.97.12

अहंभावजगच्छब्दशब्दार्थरसरञ्जनम् ।
कार्यं न कारणाभावात्पदार्थे तूपपद्यते ॥ १२ ॥

ahaṃbhāvajagacchabdaśabdārtharasarañjanam |
kāryaṃ na kāraṇābhāvātpadārthe tūpapadyate || 12 ||

The feeling of egoism and the term world, are meaningless words and mere inventions of men; because nothing whatever can be called an effect or product, which has no cause assigned to it.
