যদ্যপি সাংখ্য মানে, 'প্রধান'-কারণ ।
জড় হইতে কভু নহে জগৎ-সৃজন ॥ ১৮ ॥
yadyapi saṅkhya mane, 'pradhana'-karana
jada ha-ite kabhu nahe jagat-srjana
yadyapi-although; saṅkhya-Saṅkhya philosophy; mane-accepts; pradhana-ingredients; karana-cause; jada ha-ite-from matter; kabhu-at any time; nahe-there is not; jagat-srjana-the creation of the material world.
Although the Saṅkhya philosophy accepts that the material ingredients are the cause, the creation of the world never arises from dead matter.
