Karika 08
सौक्ष्म्यातदनुपलब्धिर्नाभावात् कार्यतस्तदुपलब्धेः। महदादि तच्च कार्यं प्रकृतिस्वरूपं विरूपं च ॥८॥
Because of subtlety, 'Mahat' and others are difficult to comprehend, not because it does not exist. 'Mahat' and others can be grasped from its activities. Its activities are nothing but manifestations of Prakrti’s natural and distorted forms.
