अप्रतर्क्ये स्वरूपे हि नास्ति कारणता शिवे ।
कारणाभावतः कार्यपदार्थोऽपि न विद्यते ॥ १५ ॥

apratarkye svarūpe hi nāsti kāraṇatā śive |
kāraṇābhāvataḥ kāryapadārtho'pi na vidyate || 15 ||

The inscrutable nature of God admits of no cause, because causality refers only to what is caused and cannot come to existence without a cause, and not to the uncaused cause of all.
