ॐ रचनानुपपत्तेश्च नानुमानम् ॐ ॥ २-२-१ ॥
The inferred one (Pradhana) is not (the cause) owing to the impossibility of explaining the design, as also for other reasons.
english translation
ॐ प्रवृत्तेश्च ॐ ॥ २-२-२॥
And the inferred (Pradhana) cannot be the cause, since the tendency to create (cannot logically arise in it).
english translation
ॐ पयोऽम्बुवच्चेत्तत्रापि ॐ ॥ २-२-३॥
If it be claimed (that Pradhana acts spontaneously) like milk and water, then even there (intelligence is the guide).
english translation
ॐ व्यतिरेकानवस्थितेश्चानपेक्षत्वात् ॐ ॥ २-२-४॥
And (Pradhana is not the cause) since (nothing extraneous to it exists, so that) it has nothing to rely on (for impulsion to or stoppage from action).
english translation
ॐ अन्यत्राभावाच्च न तृणादिवत् ॐ ॥ २-२-५॥
And Pradhana cannot change (automatically) like grass etc., (into milk in a cow) for such a change does not occur elsewhere (e.g. in a bull).
