श्रीराम उवाच ।
अतज्ज्ञविषये ब्रह्मन्कार्ये कारणसंभवे ।
किमकारणतात्म स्यात्कथं वेति वद प्रभो ॥ १३ ॥

śrīrāma uvāca |
atajjñaviṣaye brahmankārye kāraṇasaṃbhave |
kimakāraṇatātma syātkathaṃ veti vada prabho || 13 ||

Rama rejoined:—Tell me sir, how the Divine spirit is not the cause of all, when it is believed to be the sole cause, by all who are ignorant of its quiescent nature.
