Srimad Bhagavatam — Dashama Skandha, Shloka 15
The Appearance of Lord Viṣṇu (Kṛṣṇa) and the Divine Exchange with Yoga-māyā
यथेमेऽविकृता भावास्तथा ते विकृतै: सह । नानावीर्या: पृथग्भूता विराजं जनयन्ति हि ॥ १५ ॥ सन्निपत्य समुत्पाद्य दृश्यन्तेऽनुगता इव । प्रागेव विद्यमानत्वान्न तेषामिह सम्भव: ॥ १६ ॥ एवं भवान् बुद्ध्यनुमेयलक्षणै- र्ग्राह्यैर्गुणै: सन्नपि तद्गुणाग्रह: । अनावृतत्वाद् बहिरन्तरं न ते सर्वस्य सर्वात्मन आत्मवस्तुन: ॥ १७ ॥
yatheme ’vikṛtā bhāvās tathā te vikṛtaiḥ saha nānā-vīryāḥ pṛthag-bhūtā virājaṁ janayanti hi
正如总体物质能量（mahat-tattva）本不分裂，却因三种古那的变异而似乎分成诸元素并显现宇宙形态；诸元素看似在聚合时才“产生”，其实在创造之前已然存在，因此并无真实的“发生”。同样，您虽可由理智推知的征相与感官所取的性质而被觉察，却不为诸古那所染；您是万有之自我、无遮无蔽的至上灵，于您并无外与内之别。
