The Vision of Śiva4.43

4.43
यथा सतः क्रियाव्यक्तिर्व्यक्तेः सत्त्वे तथा कृतिः । एकेनापरतुल्यत्वान्नच वाऽसत उद्भवः ॥४३॥
yathā sataḥ kriyāvyaktirvyakteḥ sattve tathā kṛtiḥ | ekenāparatulyatvānnaca vā'sata udbhavaḥ
— just as ; — of the existent ; — the manifesting that is an action ; — of the manifestation ; — upon (its own) existence ; — likewise ; — a making (would be required) ; — because of (its) non-parity with any other on one point ; — and nor ; — of the non-existent ; — arising

(Reply:) Just as the manifesting of the existent is (called) an action, so too, given the (sheer) existence of the manifestation (itself), a making (of it would be needed) — (which yields regress); because on this one point (the self-luminous) is unlike anything else; and the non-existent, moreover, has no arising at all.
