श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
दृश्ये हि संभवत्येषा कार्यकारणतात्मनि ।
तद्भावाभावसंपन्ना न तु संभवति स्मृतिः ॥ ११ ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
dṛśye hi saṃbhavatyeṣā kāryakāraṇatātmani |
tadbhāvābhāvasaṃpannā na tu saṃbhavati smṛtiḥ || 11 ||

Vasishtha replied:—The pre-existence of reminiscence is possible in the outward or visible world, which admits of cause and effect; but can it be where there is no such world, but a mere vacuum only?
