42. On account of the impossibility of origination, (Shakti, a Goddess, cannot be the cause).

For the bringing forth of anything has not been observed on the part of the female without the favour of the male.

43. Nor it there the necessary instrumentality of organs for the (supposed male) agent.

Even if a male agent be admitted to be (her helper) the impossibility of origination would still remain unexplained; for the agent would be wanting means or organs (i.e., wisdom, the body and organs); and it is not possible that he is of any help to her in the work of creation.

44. Further if wisdom, etc., be alto supposed (for him), there is no denying of that; (then the system lapses into the Pashupata).

If wisdom and the necessary organs be supposed to be possessed by the Purusha (Sadashiva), then from him alone origination, etc., may proceed and there appears no necessity (again) for attributing them to Shakti. Further according to the position lastly assumed, the system would be included under the Pashupata and is consequently open to the objections taken to it.

45. And on account of its being contradictory to (the Vedic conclusions).

As this system is opposed to (and condemned by) all the Shrutis and Smritis, and abhorred by the wise, it is not worthy of regard.

End of the Second Pada

SECOND ADHYAYA

THIRD PADA

In this Pada, the Sutrakara reconciles (apparent) conflict between statements of scripture, in respect of the soul, the Supreme Being, the Adhibhutas (the great elements) and the Adhidevas (the presiding deities).

1. Ether is not (that which does not originate), on account of the absence of scriptural statement.

Ether is not without origin; for there is no scriptural statement to the effect that it is not created.
