एतद्योनीनि भूतानि सर्वाणीत्युपधारय | अहं कृत्स्नस्य जगतः प्रभवः प्रलयस्तथा
etadyonīni bhūtāni sarvāṇītyupadhāraya . ahaṃ kṛtsnasya jagataḥ prabhavaḥ pralayastathā
你当知晓,一切众生(有情与无情)皆以此二者为源头。我是整个宇宙的起源,亦是其终结。
Understand thus that all things (sentient and insentient) have these as their source. I am the origin as also the end of the whole Universe.
这两种原质,即低级原质和高级原质,是所有众生的子宫。由于我也是这两种原质的源头,因此我便是这个宇宙的因。整个宇宙都源于我,并最终溶解于我。正如《梵经》(Brahma Sutras)中所说:“Janmadyasya yatah”,意指梵是全知全能的因,世间万物的起源、维系和毁灭都源于它。就像心意是梦中所见事物的物质因和见者(Drashta)一样,伊什瓦拉(Isvara)也是这个世界的物质因(Upadana Karana)和见者。他同时也是有效的或工具性的因(Nimitta Karana)。
These two Natures? the inferior and the superior? are the womb of all beings. As I am the source of these two Prakritis or Natures also? I am the cause of this universe. The whole universe originates from Me and dissolves in Me.In the Brahma Sutras (chapter 1? section 1? aphorism 2) it is said? Janmadyasya yatah meaning that Brahman is that omniscient and omnipotent cause from which proceed the origin? subsistence and dissolution of this world.Just as the mind is the material cause and also the seer (Drashta) for the objects seen in a dream? so also Isvara is the material cause of this world (UpadanaKarana) and also the seer (Drashta). He is also the efficient or the instrumental cause (NimittaKarana). (Cf.XIV.3)
