Sūtra translation

And because of its thoroughly being condemned, the entire class of these systems not recognising a Lord) does not recommend itself to reason.

The systems of philosophy which do notj recognise a Supreme Lord, being opposed to the declaration of all Srutis and Smrits and to reason, are not worthy of being accepted (or considered). Thus the Padmapurana says— ‘‘ Srutis and Smritis and all reasoning declare the perfect Lord ; no one is baser than he who says anything con- trary to them.” Here the Sutrakara refutes the theory that atoms are the cause of the world.
