Although liberated souls, Vidyeśvaras, and the like also possess Śiva-nature, still they have no independence because of their dependence on the Supreme Lord. And from this, entities such as bodies, organs, and worlds are understood to be effects because of having a composite arrangement. And through that fact of being effects, it is inferred that they are preceded by an intelligent being; thus the establishment of the Supreme Lord is proved by the power of inference. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 7.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darsana.all.sarvadarsanasangraha.7.6) - [Next: 7.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darsana.all.sarvadarsanasangraha.7.8) - [Up: 7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darsana.all.sarvadarsanasangraha.7) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darsana.all.sarvadarsanasangraha~en-mt.7.7) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darsana.all.sarvadarsanasangraha.7.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darsana.all.sarvadarsanasangraha.7.7) · Pramāṇa
