And as action is performed in this world, so does it result to those who perform them. That which is void of smell. void of taste, and void of touch and sound, that which is meditated upon by the sages with the help of their understanding is said to be Pradhana. Now, Pradhana is unmanifest. A development of the uninanife-t is Mahat.
यथा कर्म कृतं लोके तथैतानुपद्यते॥ यनैव गन्धिनो रस्यं न रूपस्पर्शशब्दवत्। मन्यन्ते मुनयो बुद्ध्या तत् प्रधानं प्रचक्षते॥ तत्र प्रधानमव्यक्तमव्यक्तस्य गुणो महान्।
