In the Bhagavad-gītā Kṛṣṇa says, ahaṁ sarvasya prabhavaḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 10.8 &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;(1972)&lt;/ins&gt;|BG 10.8]]), &quot;I am the original cause of everything,&quot; and mattaḥ sarvaṁ pravartate, &quot;From Me everything comes into existence.&quot; Therefore, atoms may form the basic combinations of material existence, but these atoms are generated from the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Thus the philosophy of Gautama and Kaṇāda cannot be supported.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
