श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
कार्यकारणताभावाद्भावाभावौ स्त एव नो ।
इदं च चेत्यते यद्यत्स्वात्मा चेतति चेतितम् ॥ २३ ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
kāryakāraṇatābhāvādbhāvābhāvau sta eva no |
idaṃ ca cetyate yadyatsvātmā cetati cetitam || 23 ||

Vasishtha replied:—The inexistence of cause and effect, proves the nullity of being and not being (i.e. its annihilation also); all this that is thought of to exist, is the thought and thinking of the divine soul, which is the triputi or triple entity of thinker, thinking and the thought together.
