Samkhya Karika 60

नानाविधैरुपायैरुपकारिण्यनुपकारिणः पुंसः ।
गुणवत्यगुणस्य सतस्तस्यार्थमपार्थकं चरति ॥ ६० ॥

nānāvidhairupāyairupakāriṇyanupakāriṇaḥ puṁsaḥ ।
guṇavatyaguṇasya satastasyārthamapārthakaṁ carati ॥ 60 ॥

nānāvidhaiḥ=manifold; upāyaiḥ=means; upakāriṇi=generous; anupakāriṇaḥ=of the ungrateful; puṁsaḥ=Purusha; guṇava ti=endowed with the three gunas; aguṇasya=of the one without gunas; sataḥ=on being; tasya=his; artham=purpose; apārthakaṁ=without benefit (for herself); carati=pursues

Prakriti, generous by nature, endowed with the three gunas, works through multiple means, to fulfill the purpose of ungrateful Purusha who is devoid of the three gunas, without any benefit for herself.
