Verses on the Recognition of the Lord8.6

8.6
आन्तरत्वात् प्रमात्रैक्ये नैषां भेदनिबन्धना अर्थक्रियापि बाह्यत्वे सा भिन्नाभासभेदतः ॥६॥
āntaratvāt pramātraikye naiṣāṃ bhedanibandhanā arthakriyāpi bāhyatve sā bhinnābhāsabhedataḥ
— because of (their) being inner ; — in the unity of the cognizing subject ; — not ; — of these (appearances) ; — bound up with difference ; — causal efficacy ; — even, also ; — when there is externality ; — it (the causal efficacy) ; — arises from the difference of distinct appearances
