Sūta said: When the Guṇas were in (a state of) equilibrium, when there was the annihilation of everything, when there was no classification of the Vedas, when everything was full of darkness and it could not be indicated or specified particularly (the pradhāna) unintelligently functions for the sake of Cetana (Sentient one). It functions through the intellect of the sentient one and through consciousness (?) Both of them function like the fish and the water. The Sattva (? Tattva) presided over by the sentient one functions in the nature (Guṇas).
