*īśvaraḥ kāraṇaṁ, puruṣakarmaphalyadarśanāt |*
*na puruṣakarmābhāve phalāniṣpatteḥ |*
*tatkaritatvād ahetuḥ |* — IV.1.19-21
God is the cause (of the world), because actions of men (by themselves) do not yield fruits. (The opponent says): This is not so, because there is no fruit without the action by men. It is improper to say so, because, God makes men to take actions.
