Sanskrit Text

यदि कर्ता भवेत्कर्ता क्रियेत कदाचन यस्मात्तु क्रियते कर्ता तस्मात्कर्ताप्यनीश्वरः

English Translation

If the seeming performner of an act is the real actor thereof, that doer then would not himself be the creation of some one else (viz., the God). Therefore, because the seeming doer is himself the creation of another, that another is the Supreme Being superior to whom there is nothing else.
