गुणभावात् सृज्यमानात् सर्गकाले ततः पुनः ।
प्रधानं तत्त्वमुद्भूतं महान्तं तत् समावृणोत् ॥
guṇabhāvāt sṛjyamānāt sargakāle tataḥ punaḥ | pradhānaṃ tattvam udbhūtaṃ mahāntaṃ tat samāvṛṇot ||
Rồi nữa, vào thời điểm sáng tạo, khi các guṇa bắt đầu biểu lộ các trạng thái của mình, nguyên lý gọi là Pradhāna khởi sinh; và chính Pradhāna ấy bao phủ Mahat (Đại Nguyên Lý).

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.
