satyaṁ hy avayavaḥ proktaḥ
sarvāvayavinām iha
vinārthena pratīyeran
paṭasyevāṅga tantavaḥ
satyam — real; hi — because; avayavaḥ — the ingredient cause; proktaḥ — is said to be; sarva-avayavinām — of all constituted entities; iha — in this created world; vinā — apart from; arthena — their manifest product; pratīyeran — they can be perceived; paṭasya — of a cloth; iva — as; aṅga — my dear King; tantavaḥ — the threads.
My dear King, it is stated [in the Vedānta-sūtra] that the ingredient cause that constitutes any manifested product in this universe can be perceived as a separate reality, just as the threads that make up a cloth can be perceived separately from their product.
