शून्यत्वे नभसः सौम्य सर्गादित्वे चिदात्मनः ।
कार्यकारणभावादि ब्रह्मैव सकलं यदा ॥ १८ ॥

śūnyatve nabhasaḥ saumya sargāditve cidātmanaḥ |
kāryakāraṇabhāvādi brahmaiva sakalaṃ yadā || 18 ||

It is absurdity to say that, vacuity is the cause of vacuum, and the creative power is the cause of creation, when One alone, is the cause, effect, state and all of every thing himself.
