Verse 77

Tap any word for its meaning.

। ॥

In plain words

Some say the cause is nothing at all. But nothing has no power to cause. Everyone can see for themselves: the power that mothers a sprout lives in a seed that is actually there.

Close to the Sanskrit

Some declare, "The cause is non-existent"; but causehood could not belong to the non-existent. The power that mothers the sprout is indeed observed by everyone in a seed that exists.
