चित्तया नास्ति सत्ता च चित्तता नास्ति तां विना ।
विना विना यथा वायोर्यथा स्पन्देषु कारणम् ॥ १२ ॥

cittayā nāsti sattā ca cittatā nāsti tāṃ vinā |
vinā vinā yathā vāyoryathā spandeṣu kāraṇam || 12 ||

Without the intellect there is no knowledge of the intelligibles, neither is there the faculty of intellection unless there be the intellect; as there is no air without vacuum, nor is there any air without its ventilation.
