puruṣasya darśana-arthaṃ kaivalya-arthaṃ tathā pradhānasya | paṅgu-andha-vat-ubhayoḥ api saṃyogaḥ tat-kṛtaḥ sargaḥ ||

Translation

The conjunction of Puruṣa and the Pradhana is, like that of the halt and the blind, for mutual benefit, that is, for the exhibition of the Pradhana to Puruṣa and for the isolation of Puruṣa. From this conjunction proceeds Creation.
