Sanskrit

kecid vikalpa-vasanā āhur ātmānam ātmanaḥ daivam anye 'pare karma svabhāvam apare prabhum

Translation

Some of the philosophers, who deny all sorts of duality, declare that one's own self is responsible for his personal happiness and distress. Others say that superhuman powers are responsible, while yet others say that activity is responsible, and the gross materialists maintain that nature is the ultimate cause.
