Samkhya gives five proofs for the existence of Prkriti.<ref name=":2" />
a) Bhedanam parimanat: (effects are limited and many) All particular objects of the world, from Buddhi to Panchabhutas, are limited and dependent on one another. The finite and limited principle cannot be the cause of the Universe. So there is an unlimited and independent cause for their existence. It is the Prkriti which is infinite, unlimited, independent and all-pervading source of the universe.

d) Karanakaryavibhagat: (cause and effects are separate/different) The effect differs from the cause and hence the limited effect cannot be regarded as its own cause.
