Trans.--261-262 It is not appropriate (to believe ) the production of Karma to be first in absence of Kartā, nor is it so even if it is niskāranaka. In case of both being produced simultaneously, the same ( difficulties) will arise. Moreover, in ( case of ) simultaneous production of jiva and Karma, designation of kartā and kārya will not properly fit in as found in the popular example of the two horns of a cow. ( 1809-1810)

___D. C.-- It is not appropriate to accept that Karma is produced first and jîva afterwards. Por, the production of Karma is not possible without jive, which is the Karma at the same time. And if that production of Karmā is nişkāranaka, its end will also be nişkāraņaka.
It is also not proper to say that jiva and Karma are produced simultaneously. Because, in that case also, both being nirhtéuka, the same difficulties will arise.
Moreover, if jiva and Karma are produced together, they will no longer be taken as kartā and karya but like the two
