11.28.7

tasmān na hy ātmano 'nyasmād anyo bhāvo nirūpitaḥ /
nirūpite 'yaṃ tri-vidhā nirmūla bhātir ātmani /
idaṃ guṇa-mayaṃ viddhi tri-vidhaṃ māyayā kṛtam //

7. V. As no other independent cause exists, or as Brahman being the material cause, remains as the Universe, no other independent cause is proved to exist; the notion or question of Paramatman's being the Samavayi, the Asamavayi or the Nimitta (efficient) cause is ill-founded, therefore...... Maya (Prakriti the Lord's will).

D. Therefore (i. e.,) on the strength of clear Srutis, no absolute creator other than Atman (Hari) is seen (in the Vedas); (and since He is spoken of as creating Himself, He is not the creature of any other cause); on the other hand the wise see no basis for the notion that He is created, maintained and withdrawn by another; and therefore do thou understand that this three-fold state of the Jiva is brought about by the gunas under Hari's will. 8. He who thoroughly realises this, My precept of the highest and clearest gnana and vignana, does not censure or praise and (only) goes about the world like the sun, (making no difference between things).
