Sanskrit Original
स्वभावात् सम्प्रवर्तन्ते निवर्तन्ते तथैव च। सर्वे भावास्तथाभावाः पुरुषार्थो न विद्यते॥ पुरुषार्थस्य चाभावे नास्ति कश्चिच्च कारकः। स्वयं न कुर्वतस्तस्य जातु मानो भवेदिह॥

All kinds of entities and non-entities come into being or cease on account of their own nature. No kind of personal exertion is necessary (for their production). In the absence of personal exertion it is clear that no personal agent exists for the production of all this that we perceive. But though the person never does anything, yet through the influence of Ignorance a consciousness regarding agency over spreads itself on it.
