Upadeshasahasri 16.49

16.49 Shankaracharya

संबन्धानुपपत्तेश्च प्रकृतेः पुरुषस्य च । मिथोऽयुक्तं तदर्थत्वं प्रधानस्याचितित्वतः ॥

saṃbandhānupapatteśca prakṛteḥ puruṣasya ca | mitho'yuktaṃ tadarthatvaṃ pradhānasyācititvataḥ ||

And because no relation between primal nature (prakṛti) and the person (puruṣa) is possible, it is unfit [to say] that primal matter exists for his sake, since primal matter is unconscious.

और क्योंकि प्रकृति और पुरुष का कोई सम्बन्ध सम्भव नहीं, इसलिए प्रधान का उसके लिए होना अयुक्त है, क्योंकि प्रधान अचेतन है।
