Verse 7.189.21

न शाश्वतादन्यदिहास्ति कारणान्न कारणं तत्खलु कार्यतां विना ।
न कार्यताकारणतादिसंभवोऽस्त्यनामये तत्किमपीदमाततम् ॥ २१ ॥

na śāśvatādanyadihāsti kāraṇānna kāraṇaṃ tatkhalu kāryatāṃ vinā |
na kāryatākāraṇatādisaṃbhavo'styanāmaye tatkimapīdamātatam || 21 ||

There can be no other cause of this world, except the eternal causality of Brahma; who is self-existent, only without any action or causation of himself; thus the Supreme soul being wholly devoid of the attributes of cause and effect, what can this world be, but an extension of the Divine essence?
