Mandukya Karika 1.11

Sanskrit Verse

कार्यकारणबद्धौ ताविष्येते विश्वतैजसौ ।
प्राज्ञः कारणबद्धस्तु द्वौ तौ तुर्ये न सिद्ध्य्तः ॥ ११ ॥

Transliteration

kāryakāraṇbaddhau tāviṣyete viśvataijasau |
prājñaḥ kāraṇabaddhastu dvau tau turye na siddhytaḥ || 11 ||

Translation

Viśva and Taijasa are conditioned by cause and effect. But Prājña is conditioned by cause alone. These two (cause and effect) do not exist in Turīya.
