Adhyaya 45 — Jaimini’s Cosmological Questions and the Opening of Markandeya’s Account of Primary Creation
महांस्तैः सहितः सर्वैरव्यक्तेन समावृतः ।
एभिरावरणैरण्डं सप्तभैः प्राकृतैर्वृतम् ॥
mahāṃs taiḥ sahitaḥ sarvair avyaktena samāvṛtaḥ | ebhir āvaraṇair aṇḍaṃ saptabhaiḥ prākṛtair vṛtam
મહત્તત્ત્વ તે સર્વ તત્ત્વો સહિત અવ્યક્તથી આવૃત છે. આ સાત પ્રાકૃત આવરણોથી મહાંડ પરિઘેરાયેલું છે.

The manifest rests upon the unmanifest: visible reality is dependent on subtler causal strata, encouraging humility about sensory knowledge.
Sarga: enumeration of tattvas and their enclosing function around the cosmos.
Avyakta as the ultimate veil implies that liberation/knowledge requires penetrating beyond even cosmic intellect (mahat) into the unmanifest causal ground.
