== प्रकृतिः || Prakriti ==
== प्रकृतिः || Prakriti the Cause ==
Prakriti means that which is primary, that which precedes what is made. It comes from 'Pra' (before) and `Kri' (to make). It resembles Vedantic concept of Maya. It is the one root of the universe. It is called Pradhana or the chief, because all effects are founded on it and lt is the root of the universe and of all objects. Prakriti is eternal, all pervading, immovable. It is one. It has no cause, but is the cause of all effects. Prakriti is independent and uncaused, while the products are caused and dependent. Prakriti depends only on the activity of its own constituent Gunas (metaphysical properties).<ref name=":0" />

Hence from the existence of the effect, the cause is inferred, though on this point different philosophers have different opinions. Different philosophies describe the emanation of Universe as follows
Bauddha's view
To explain Evolution of the Universe from Prkriti, the existence of its Effects has to be ascertained.
