tat vastu sākāram jāyate anyat kutaḥ anyathā

60. sākārasya hi sākāram vaṭadhānādivat bhavet tat
sākāram vastu bījam anyathā anyat kutaḥ jāyate

60. Indeed, for a form-possessing entity, its form-possessing cause would be like a banyan seed and its tree. That entity, possessing form, is the seed. Otherwise, how could a different form arise from it?
