Verse 7.97.4

चिन्मात्रं पुरुषोऽकर्ता समेत्यव्यक्ततो जगत् ।
एवंदृष्टेः सत्यमेतदेवमर्थानुभूतितः ॥ ४ ॥

cinmātraṃ puruṣo'kartā sametyavyaktato jagat |
evaṃdṛṣṭeḥ satyametadevamarthānubhūtitaḥ || 4 ||

That the embodied Intellect, called the purusha or soul, is the supreme cause (in the sankhya system); and the world proceeds from the unknown principle, known as the pradhana or its principal source. The truth of this view of the creation, rests wholly on the opinion of the philosopher.
