Adhyaya 45 — Jaimini’s Cosmological Questions and the Opening of Markandeya’s Account of Primary Creation
गुणभावात् सृज्यमानात् सर्गकाले ततः पुनः ।
प्रधानं तत्त्वमुद्भूतं महान्तं तत् समावृणोत् ॥
guṇabhāvāt sṛjyamānāt sargakāle tataḥ punaḥ | pradhānaṃ tattvam udbhūtaṃ mahāntaṃ tat samāvṛṇot ||
पुन्हा सृष्टीकाळी, जेव्हा गुण आपापले भाव व्यक्त करू लागतात, तेव्हा ‘प्रधान’ नावाचे तत्त्व उदयास येते; आणि तेच (प्रधान) ‘महत्’ तत्त्वाला सर्वतोमुखी आच्छादित करते.

FAQs
The cosmos is presented as layered: subtler principles ‘envelop’ or condition the emergence of grosser ones. Practically, it encourages discernment (viveka): distinguish the changing layers of nature from the witnessing self.
Sarga (primary creation): outlines the first evolutes (Pradhāna/Mahat) in a Sāṅkhya-like sequence.
‘Envelopment’ indicates that each manifest stage remains rooted in the unmanifest—suggesting that returning inward (toward the causal) is a path to transcendence.
