Indian Philosophy: 4rth study ” Sankhya, Yoga, Nyaya, Vaisheshika”

वत्सविवृद्धिनिमित्तं क्षीरस्य यथा प्रवृत्तिरज्ञस्य।
पुरुषविमोक्षनिमित्तं तथा प्रवृत्तिः प्रधानस्य॥
As the unintelligent milk functions for the sake of nourishment of the calf,
so the nature (pradhāna) functions for the sake of liberation (mokṣa) of the spirit (puruṣa).
— sāṁkhyakārikā, 57
