कारणेन विना कार्य न च नामोपपद्यते ।
कदा क इव खे केन दृष्टो लब्धः स्फुटो द्रुमः ॥ १३ ॥

kāraṇena vinā kārya na ca nāmopapadyate |
kadā ka iva khe kena dṛṣṭo labdhaḥ sphuṭo drumaḥ || 13 ||

No effect can ever result, without its formal cause or main-spring; say who has ever seen or found a tree to spring from and grow in empty air.
