Transliteration

bhedānāṃ parimāṇāt samanvayāt śaktitaḥ pravṛtteḥ ca | kāraṇa-kārya-vibhāgāt-avibhāgāt-vaiśvarūpyasya ||

Translation

Of the particulars (e.g., Mahat and all the rest down to the earth), there exists an Unmanifest cause : because the particulars are finite ; because they are homo geneous ; because production is through power ; because there is differentiation of effect from cause or difference of cause and effect ; and because there is reunion of the multi form effect with the cause.
