The Vision of Śiva 6.65

6.65

दर्शनं यद्यभावस्य तुच्छस्य करणं कथम् । बहुभिस्तर्हि तुच्छं हि घटोऽपि जनयेत्कथम् ॥६५॥

darśanaṃ yadyabhāvasya tucchasya karaṇaṃ katham | bahubhistarhi tucchaṃ hi ghaṭo'pi janayetkatham

— the seeing ; — if of an absence ; — of the void (the utterly nugatory) ; — the making ; — how? ; — by many (causes) ; — then ; — the void ; — indeed ; — the pot too ; — could it generate? ; — how?

If there be a seeing of (such) an absence — how (can there be) a making of the (utterly) void? And if the void (could be) made by many (causes), then how could a pot too (— equally a 'made' thing —) generate (anything, on your nihilist premises)?
