11.9.20

tām āhus tri-guṇa-vyaktiṃ sṛjantīṃ viśvato-mukham /
yasmin protam idaṃ viśvaṃ yena saṃsarate pumān //

20. V. They say that Mahat-Tatva is a manifestation of three gunas bringing forth the whole series of Tattvas or principles as the one chief cause of all phenomenal existences; hence the Universe is said to be woven warp and woof into it, and with the linga sareera or subtle body produced by it the jiva goes through endless series of lives.

D. They say that Maya is that out of which the three gunas are evolved and creation of every thing proceeds; and it is into this Maya or Prakriti the whole Universe is woven and by that Prakriti, i. e., being invested with Prakriti the Jiva gets into the course of mundane life.
