Karika 52

न विना भावैर्लिङ्गं न विना लिङ्गेन भावनिर्वृत्तिः।
लिङ्गाख्यो भावाख्यस्तस्माद्द्विविधःAlternative: भावाख्यस्तस्माद्द्वेधा प्रवर्तते सर्गः॥ ५२॥

Translation by Henry Thomas Colebrooke (1837): Without dispositions there would be no subtile person; without person there would be no pause of dispositions; wherefore a twofold creation is presented, one termed personal, the other intellectual.

Translation by John Davies (1881): Without dispositions or states of being there would be no liṅga, and without the liṅga no development or manifestation of conditions (dispositions); whence comes a double creation - one called personal (of the liṅga), and the other conditional (of the dispositions, bhāvās).

Translation by Ganganath Jha (1896): Without dispositions there would be no Linga (Element), and without the Linga there would be no development of dispositions. Wherefore proceeds a two-fold creation, the personal (belonging to the body, astral and gross) and intellectual.

Translation by Nandalal Sinha (1915): Without the Bhâvas, there would be no Liṅga, without the Liṅga, there would be no surcease of the Bhâvas; wherefrom a twofold creation proceeds: the one called after the Liṅga, the other called after the Bhâvas.

Translation by Har Dutt Sharma (1933): There can be no Liṅga without dispositions, nor elaboration of dispositions without Liṅga. Therefore, proceeds the two-fold creation, viz., that of Liṅga and that of dispositions.

Translation by Radhanath Phukan (1960): Without a sense-world, there could not be a physical world and without a physical world there could not be enjoyment of the sense-world; therefore, there are two different creations, viz., the sense-world (Bhāvākhya Sarga) and the physical world (Liṁgākhya Sarga).

Translation by Swami Virupakshananda (1995): Without the (subjective) dispositions, there would be no (objective) evolution of the tanmātras; and without the objective, there would be no subjective. Therefore, there proceeds two-fold evolution, known as the objective and the subjective.

Translation by G. Srinivasan (recent): Neither can a defined potential source exist without a defined kinetic phase nor can a potential phase without a kinetic charge for only then a vorticular particle can be initiated from a potential source. The potential is classified as mass and the kinetic phase as charge from which dual combination all phenomena is initiated and maintained by this continuous dual mode of polarisation.
