[One might object:] "At the time when those two, Prakṛti and Īśvara, are producing one effect, another form [of theirs] for producing the other two effects is not present, therefore at that time those two [effects] do not follow" - thus [the opponent] speaks beginning with "na hi." For it [the cause] is not the producer of something else through another form, and since its essential nature remains the same, how could there be a cessation of that activity?
