स्वाशक्तेश्च समायोगादहं बीजात्मतां गता |
स्वाधारावरणात् तस्या दोषत्वं च समागतम् || ७ ||
svāśakteśca samā-yogād-ahaṃ bījātmatāṃ gatā |
svādhārā-varaṇāt tasyā doṣatvaṃ ca samāgatam || 7 ||
7. "By uniting with this inherent power of mine, I become the cosmic seed. By obscuring Me, its own basis, this power is prone to defects."
चैतन्यस्य समायोगान्निमित्तत्वं च कथ्यते |
प्रपञ्चपरिणामाच्च समवायित्वमुच्यते || ८ ||
caitanyasya samāyogān-nimittatvaṃ ca kathyate |
prapañca-pariṇāmāc-ca sama-vāyitvam-ucyate || 8 ||
8. "Through its association with consciousness, Maya is called the efficient cause of the world. Through its evolution into the visible realm, it is said to be the material cause."
