Verse 7.10.10

नित्यानन्दतयाऽजस्य कारणं नास्ति कार्यकृत् ।
सर्गाद्यसंभवे तस्माद्यदस्ति तदजं शिवम् ॥ १० ॥

nityānandatayā'jasya kāraṇaṃ nāsti kāryakṛt |
sargādyasaṃbhave tasmādyadasti tadajaṃ śivam || 10 ||

The everlasting bliss of the uncreated God, has no cause for his creation of the world, which cannot augment his bliss; therefore know all that is and exists to the increate God himself, from the improbability of his making a creation to no purpose whatsoever.
