asatyam apratiṣṭhaṃ te jagad-āhur anīśvaram |
aparaspara sambhūtaṃ kim anyat kāma haitukam || 8 ||

8. They say; "This universe is unreal, without any foundation and without a Controller (Iśvara),
brought about by mutual union, with lust for its cause; what else?”

Commentary

They (certain schools of philosophy) maintain that the universe is 'unreal' — they do not accept that this universe, which is the manifestation of Brahman and is denoted by the term Reality (Satya), has Brahman for its Self. They contend that it has no 'foundation,' — they do not accept that Brahman is the substrata of the universe.
