सति बीजे प्रवर्तन्ते कार्यकारणदृष्टयः ।
निराकारस्य किं बीजं क्व जन्यजनकक्रमः ॥ २५ ॥

sati bīje pravartante kāryakāraṇadṛṣṭayaḥ |
nirākārasya kiṃ bījaṃ kva janyajanakakramaḥ || 25 ||

Had there been a real seed from eternity, it is possible for the world to be produced from it, by causes inherent in the same;but how could a real and formal seed, be contained in the formless spirit of God; and by what process could the material proceed from the immaterial?
