कालः स्वभावो नियतिर् यदृच्छा भूतानि योनिः पुरुषेति चिन्त्यम् । संयोग एषां न त्व् आत्मभावाद् आत्मा ह्य् अनीशः सुखदुःखहेतोः
kālaḥ svabhāvo niyatir yadṛcchā bhūtāni yoniḥ puruṣeti cintyam / saṃyoga eṣāṃ na tv ātmabhāvād ātmā hy anīśaḥ sukhaduḥkhahetoḥ
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Should time, or nature, or necessity, or chance, or the elements be considered as the cause, or he who is called the person (purusha, vif-oMnatma)? It cannot be their union either, because that is not self- dependent, and the self also is powerless, because there is (independent of him) a cause of good and evil.
