Sūtra 2

ननु विश्वस्य यदि चितिः हेतुः तत् अस्या उपादानाद्यपेक्षायां भेदवादापरित्यागः स्यात् - इत्याशङ्क्य आहस्वेच्छया स्वभित्तौ विश्वमुन्मीलयति ॥ २ ॥स्वेच्छया न तु ब्रह्मादिवत् अन्येच्छया तयैव च न तु उपादानाद्यपेक्षया - एवं हि प्रागुक्तस्वातन्त्र्यहान्या चित्त्वमेव न घटेत - स्वभित्तौ न तु अन्यत्र क्वापि प्राक् निर्णीतं विश्वं दर्पणे नगरवत् अभिन्नमपि भिन्नमिव उन्मीलयति ।उन्मीलनं च अवस्थितस्यैव प्रकटीकरणम् ।इत्यनेन जगतः प्रकाशैकात्म्येन अवस्थानम् उक्तम् ॥ २ ॥

In plain words

But if citi is the cause of the universe, then, should she need a material cause and the like, the doctrine of difference would not be left behind. Anticipating this, he says: By her own will, on her own screen, she unfolds the universe. By her own will: not by the will of another, as with Brahmā and the rest; and by that will alone, not by depending on a material cause and the like, for then the freedom already described would be lost and she could not even be cit. On her own screen, and nowhere else at all, she unfolds the universe described above, which, like a city in a mirror, is not separate from her and yet appears as though separate. And to unfold is to make manifest what is already there. By this it is stated that the world abides as one with prakāśa.
