The Vision of Śiva4.50

4.50
नासंबद्धस्य करणं सत्कार्याच्चेत्स विद्यते । सन्नप्यसावसंवेद्यो व्यञ्जकस्याप्यभावतः ॥५०॥
nāsaṃbaddhasya karaṇaṃ satkāryāccetsa vidyate | sannapyasāvasaṃvedyo vyañjakasyāpyabhāvataḥ
— not ; — of the unconnected ; — the making ; — from (the doctrine of) the pre-existent effect ; — if ; — it ; — exists ; — though existent ; — this (effect) ; — not (yet) cognizable ; — even of a manifester ; — because of (its) absence

There is no making of the unconnected; and if, by the doctrine of the pre-existent effect, it (already) exists — then, though existent, this (effect) is not (yet) cognizable, owing to the absence even of a manifester (— which is precisely the point we press).
