Sūtra translation
(If it be said that the Pradhana can be the Cause) ae seen in the case of milk or water ; (“ no ” we reply); for even there (there is the intelligent being guiding il).
It is not right to hold that even the non-intelligent Pradhana may be active as in the case of milk curdling or water flowing, etc. For the Sruti says, that even there the activity is caused by the Lord, as conveyed by the text, " All the different rivers abide by the command of this Imperishable (Lord), O Gargi, the rivers which take their rise in the mountains of Sveta, etc., and flow indifferent directions, some to the east, some to the west,” (Bri. V.viii.9) “ By this (Lord) indeed milk be- comes curd, etc.”
