तन्मात्रवेदनं भूयः पृथ्व्यादीनां च कारणम् ।
किमस्ति कथ्यतां छाया कथमास्ते वदातपे ॥ ६४ ॥

tanmātravedanaṃ bhūyaḥ pṛthvyādīnāṃ ca kāraṇam |
kimasti kathyatāṃ chāyā kathamāste vadātape || 64 ||

The knowledge of God alone as the sole cause, and yet acknowledging the causality of the earth and other elements; is as absurd as to say that, the sun shines and yet it is dark.
