The Law Code of Yājñavalkya 3.4.76

3.4.76

nanu sattvādiguṇavikārasya sukhaduḥkhamohātmakasya kāryabhūte jagatprapañce darśanāt tadguṇavatyāḥ prakṛter eva jagatkartṛtocitā, na punar nirguṇasya brahmaṇaḥ |

Now, an objection: Since the modification of the qualities such as sattva, consisting of pleasure, pain, and delusion, is seen in the phenomenal world which is an effect, agency over the world is proper only for primordial matter which possesses those qualities, but not for Brahman which is devoid of qualities.
