Na ca karmano'pi pūrvam karturabhave samudbhavo yuktah Niskaranakah so 'pi ca tatha yugapadūtpattibhave ca || 261 (1809) Na hi karta karyamiti ca yugapadutpattau jîva-karmaṇoḥ | Yukto vyapadeśo 'yam yathā loke govisanayoh ॥ 262 ॥ ( 1810 ) ]
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 it it is niskāraṇaka. 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 propular example of the two horns of a cow. (1809-1810)

D. C.-It is not appropriate to accept that Karma is produced first and jiva afterwards. For, the production of Karma is not possible without jiva, which is the Karta at the same time. And if that production of Karma is niṣkāraṇaka, its end will also be niskaranaka.
It is also not proper to say that jiva and Karma are produced simultaneously. Because, in that case also, both being nir-hetuka, 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
