3.7.16
sādhv etad vyāhṛtaṃ vidvan nātma-māyāyanaṃ hareḥ /
ābhāty apārthaṃ nirmūlaṃ viśva-mūlaṃ na yad bahiḥ //
Verse 16. V. It has been well explained by you, O Learned one, that jiva and Prakriti are the abode of Hari and it is a false view that this universe does not contain within itself its own cause Brahma and that Brahma, the cause of all is outside it and has not entered into it. D. O wise one, this explanation that it is all due to Hari's own glorious powers is indeed well given; but to my mind all that appears devoid of purpose and sufficient reason, except the पूर्वादृष्ट something invisible and unknown of the past; (all that = the notion of taking the body for the Atman) and at the same time, I cannot think out of Brahman to find the cause of all (so I am in a confusion).
