### CC Adi 5.62

> মায়া-অংশে কহি তারে নিমিত্ত-কারণ ।\
> সেহ নহে, যাতে কর্তা-হেতু — নারায়ণ ॥৬২॥

> māyā-aṁśe kahi tāre nimitta-kāraṇa\
> seha nahe, yāte kartā-hetu—nārāyaṇa

*māyā-aṁśe*—to the other portion of the material nature; *kahi*—I say; *tāre*—unto her; *nimitta-kāraṇa*—immediate cause; *seha nahe*—that cannot be; *yāte*—because; *kartā-hetu*—the original cause; *nārāyaṇa*—Lord Nārāyaṇa.

**The māyā aspect of material nature is the immediate cause of the cosmic manifestation. But it also cannot be the real cause, for the original cause is Lord Nārāyaṇa.**
