māyā-amśe - 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 cannot be the real cause, for the original cause is Lord Nārāyaṇa.
