12.21
इत्थं तथा घटपटाद्याभासजगदात्मना तिष्ठासोर् एवम् इच्छैव हेतुता कर्तृता क्रिया ॥२१॥
itthaṃ tathā ghaṭapaṭā-dyābhāsajagadātmanā tiṣṭhāsor evam icchaiva hetutā kartṛtā kriyā
— thus ; — so ; — as the world consisting of the appearances of pot, cloth, and the rest ; — of (the Lord) desiring to abide (so manifested) ; — thus ; — (his) will itself ; — (is) causality ; — agent-hood ; — action

Thus, for the (Lord) who desires to abide as the world consisting of the appearances of pot, cloth, and the rest, his very will is causality, agent-hood, and action.
