Verse 7.72.26

क्वचिन्मात्रेऽमले व्योम्नि कथं वा केन वा जगत् ।
किं जायते किमत्रास्ति कारणं सहकारि यत् ॥ २६ ॥

kvacinmātre'male vyomni kathaṃ vā kena vā jagat |
kiṃ jāyate kimatrāsti kāraṇaṃ sahakāri yat || 26 ||

How can the gross world be ever attached to the simple Intellect, which is of the nature of a void; how can a cause or secondary causality, be ever produced in or come out from a mere void?
