US-P19.021ab अकुर्वदिष्टं यदि वास्य कारकं न किंचिदन्यन् ननु नास्त्यकारकम् ।US-P19.021cd सतो विशेषादसतश्च सच्च्युतौ तुलान्तयोर्यद्वदनिश्चयान् न हि ॥
In plain words
If a causal agent accomplishes nothing, and no separate instrument exists, then nothing devoid of agency is found. Just as the two pans of a scale fluctuate without definite settlement regarding being and non-being, no final determination is reached.
Close to the Sanskrit
Not producing the desired object if or its causal agent [is] not anything else, surely there is no non-agent; from the distinction of the existent and of the non-existent, and in the departure from being, just like the two ends of a balance, from indeterminability, indeed no.
