जगद्धेतोस्तु नित्यत्वं सर्वेषामपि सम्मतम् ।जगद्धेतुत्वमस्यैव वावदीति श्रुतिर्मुहुः ॥ १६६ ॥
In plain words
That the cause of the universe is eternal is acknowledged by all; and scripture repeatedly declares that Brahman alone is this cause of the world.
Close to the Sanskrit
The eternity of the cause of the world is indeed accepted by all; the Veda repeatedly proclaims the world-causality of this one alone.
