Sanskrit Text

देवा मनुष्या गन्धर्वाः पिशाचासुरराक्षसाः सर्वे स्वभावतः सृष्टा क्रियाभ्यो कारणात्

English Translation

After the qualities (are dissolved) the five elements. Such is the gradation of entities. Celestials, men, Gandharvas, Pishachas, Asuras, (and) Rakshasa, have all originated from Nature, and not from actions, nor from a cause. The Brahmanas, who are creators of the universe are born here again and again.
