sattaiva saṃniveśena tathaivāsāṃ jagaddṛśām 26

26. Just as the rays (arciṣaḥ) of jewels (ratnādīnām) and similar things arise spontaneously (abuddhipūrvam saṃjātāḥ), so too, the very existence (sattā eva) of these world-appearances (jagaddṛśām) comes about through their arrangement (saṃniveśena) in the same way (tathaiva).

26. כשם שזיו האבנים היקרות קורן ללא תכנון מוקדם, כך עצם הקיום של מראות העולם הללו מתארגן מאליו.
