असत्यमप्रतिष्ठं ते जगदाहुरनीश्वरम् |

अपरस्परसम्भूतं किमन्यत्कामहैतुकम् || 8||

asatyam apratiṣhṭhaṁ te jagad āhur anīśhvaram
aparaspara-sambhūtaṁ kim anyat kāma-haitukam

भावार्थ:

वे आसुरी प्रकृति वाले मनुष्य कहा करते हैं कि जगत्‌ आश्रयरहित, सर्वथा असत्य और बिना ईश्वर के, अपने-आप केवल स्त्री-पुरुष के संयोग से उत्पन्न है, अतएव केवल काम ही इसका कारण है। इसके सिवा और क्या है?॥8॥

Translation

They say, “The world is without absolute truth, without any basis (for moral order), and without a God (who has created or is controlling it). It is created from the combination of the two sexes, and has no purpose other than sexual gratification.”

English Translation Of Sri Shankaracharya’s Sanskrit Commentary By Swami Gambirananda
