- Sūtra 2.3.14The order (In which the elements are retracted into Brahman) is the reverse of that (i.e. the order in which they are created); this is proved (by its agreement with observation).Sūtra translation
- Sūtra 2.3.15If it be said that between (Brahman and the elements) the intellect and mind (are mentioned and that therefore their origination and retractation are to be placed) somewhere in the series, on account of there being inferential signs (whereby the order of the creation of the elements is broken) ; we deny that, on account of the non-difference (of the organs and the elements).Sūtra translation
- Sūtra 2.3.16But the designation (as being born and dying) abides in the (bodies of beings) moving and non- moving ; it is secondary (metaphorical) if applied to the soul, as the existence (of those terms) depends on the existence of that (i.e. the body).Sūtra translation

- Sūtra 2.3.23There is no contradiction, as in the case of sandal-ointment.Sūtra translation
- Sūtra 2.3.24If it be said (that the two cases are not parallel), on account of the specialisation of abode (present in the case of the sandal-ointment, absent in the C3se of the soul); we deny that, on account of the acknowledgment (by scripture, of a apecial place of the soul), viz. within the heart.Sūtra translation

- Sūtra 2.3.35On account of its taking.Sūtra translation
