योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-3, chapter-3, verse-26

अजस्य सहकारीणि कारणानि न सन्ति यत् ।
तज्जस्यापि न सन्त्येव तानि तस्मात्तु कानिचित् ॥ २६ ॥

ajasya sahakārīṇi kāraṇāni na santi yat ,
tajjasyāpi na santyeva tāni tasmāttu kānicit 26

26. ajasya sahakārīṇi kāraṇāni na santi yat tatjasya
api na santi eva tāni tasmāt tu kānicit

26. yat ajasya sahakārīṇi kāraṇāni na santi,
tasmāt tu tāni tatjasya api kānicit na santi eva

26. Since (yat) there are no auxiliary causes (sahakārīṇi kāraṇāni) for the unborn (aja), therefore (tasmāt), indeed (tu), those (tāni) (causes) do not exist at all (na santi eva kānicit) even for that which is (apparently) born from it (tatjasya api).
