Vedantasara - Verse 58

Sanskrit

तेषु जाड्याधिक्यदर्शनात्तमःप्राधान्यं तत्कारणस्य । तदानीं सत्त्वरजस्तमांसि कारणगुणप्रक्रमेण तेष्वाकाशादिषूत्पद्यन्ते

Swami Nikhilananda's Translation

On account of the preponderance of inertia observed in them, their cause also must have an excess of the quality of darkness (Tamas). At that time the qualities of Sattva, Rajas and Tamas are reproduced in ether etc., in accordance with the law that the qualities of the cause determine the qualities of the effect.
