निष्क्रियस्य क्रिया तस्य भगवन्! विद्यते कथम्| स्वतन्त्रश्चेदनिष्टासु कथं योनिषु जायते ||६||
9. If the Purusha is independent, how does it take birth among the undesirable species? 10. If the Purusha is absolutely free, how does it get overpowered by miserable ideas?
11. Being omnipresent, why is it not aware of all miseries in its surroundings? 12. If it is ubiquitous, how does it not visualize things interrupted by hills and walls?
न पश्यति विभुः कस्माच्छैलकुड्यतिरस्कृतम्| क्षेत्रज्ञः क्षेत्रमथवा किं पूर्वमिति संशयः ||८||
