द्विविधायाः स्मृतेरस्याः कारणं परमं पदम् ।
कार्यकारणभावोऽसावेक एव चिदम्बरे ॥ २१ ॥

dvividhāyāḥ smṛterasyāḥ kāraṇaṃ paramaṃ padam |
kāryakāraṇabhāvo'sāveka eva cidambare || 21 ||

It is the Supreme being that is the sole cause of both states of reminiscence, (i. e. the one caused by vestiges of prior impressions, and the other produced by prior desires); and both the conditions of cause and effect combine in Him in the sphere of his intellect.
