नाबुद्धिपूर्वं तत्कर्म संभवत्यङ्ग कस्यचित् ।

buddhipūrvaṃ tu yadvyarthaṃ kuryādunmattako hi kaḥ || 69 ||

The creation of the world, is never the work of an unintelligent cause; nor is this frail and unreal world ever the work of an intelligent maker also; because none but a fool makes any for nothing.
