### CC Adi 6.17

> ‘নিমিত্তাংশে’ করে তেঁহো মায়াতে ঈক্ষণ ।\
> ‘উপাদান’ অদ্বৈত করেন ব্রহ্মাণ্ড-সৃজন ॥১৭॥

> 'nimittāṁśe' kare teṅho māyāte īkṣaṇa\
> 'upādāna' advaita karena brahmāṇḍa-sṛjana

*nimitta-aṁśe*—in the portion as the original cause; *kare*—does; *teṅho*—He; *māyāte*—in the external energy; *īkṣaṇa*—glancing; *upādāna*—the material cause; *advaita*—Advaita Ācārya; *karena*—does; *brahmāṇḍa-sṛjana*—creation of the material world.

**Lord Viṣṇu, in His efficient aspect, glances over the material energy, and Śrī Advaita, as the material cause, creates the material world.**
