ON THE EXISTENCE OF COD.
Sutra. As the (seen) universe spoken of as he, she and it undergoes three changes’ (origin, development and decay), this must be an entity cheated (by an efficient cause.) Tins entity owing to its conjunction with Anara Mala has to emanate from Mara, to whom it returns during Samharam. Hence, the learned say that Mam is the First cause.
Commentary.
