Samkhya Karika 43

सांसिद्धिकाश्च भावाः प्राकृतिका वैकृतिकाश्च धर्माद्याः ।
दृष्टाः करणाश्रयिणः कार्याश्रयिणश्च कललाद्याः ॥ ४३ ॥

sāṁsiddhikāśca bhāvāḥ prākṛtikā vaikṛtikāśca dharmādyāḥ ।
dṛṣṭāḥ karaṇāśrayiṇaḥ kāryāśrayiṇaśca kalalādyāḥ ॥ 43 ॥

sāṁsiddhikāḥ=innate; ca=and; bhāvāḥ=dispositions; prākṛtikā=natural; vaikṛtikāḥ=acquired; ca=and; dharmādyāḥ=dharma (virtue) and the rest; dṛṣṭāḥ=observed; karaṇāśrayiṇaḥ=residing in the inner instrument (buddhi); kāryāśrayiṇaḥ=residing in the effect (body etc.); ca=and; kalalādyāḥ=embryo and the rest

The dispositions – virtues etc., are innate, natural and acquired. These subsist in the main instrument, the intellect. The embryo and the rest subsist in the effect (physical body).
