करणवच्चेन्न भोगादिभ्यः
karaṇavaccenna bhogādibhyaḥ
Sūtra translation
If it be said that this very world serves him. at Ar- yans (a body), it cannot be admitted on account of his besom- ing thereby subject to the experiences of lif e, etc.
It may be stated that this world itself is his place (situation), etc.; and there may be something that eternally exists even during the Pralaya (period of dissolution) ; and that may possibly be (his means, his organs, etc.) ; hence it is right to hold that Pasupati is the cause of the world. But this defence is impossible ; for there would result that he is subject to the experiences, etc.; that is, birth and death, the experiences of pain and pleasure, which the. corporeal existence entails, (should) become his lot.
