According to some authorities, the Supreme Lord, the master of sacrifice, exists. This can be observed by the presence of beautiful bodies in this life and the next in some place.
“You desire to institute worship of the Lord. How is that possible, for your father Vena accepted the teaching of kaivalya?” O most respectable persons! With an opposite intention he says, “Some persons are of the opinion that the Supreme Lord called the Lord of sacrifice exists.” To those who oppose, he says “Do not doubt that this is true.” It is proved by the fact that without the Lord there could be no variety in the universe. In this life by sense perception and in the next life by the statement of scripture, we know there are very beautiful bodies in certain places. And to the other extreme, we know there are very ugly bodies as well. People get various degrees of beauty through past pious actions, and lack of those results by lack of past pious actions. Bhuvaḥ means places of enjoyment and bodies. The meaning is this. Actions alone being material and unconscious, cannot give these different results. The devatās who appeared recently are not independent, since this is stated in the Antaryāmī-śruti. (Thus devatās are not the final cause of differences.) If the action is the same, we do not see difference results, and we never see lack of results. Thus one should conclude that the variety is possible only because of the Supreme Lord, who has the ability to do, not do or do differently. When there is difference in worship of the Lord, there is also difference in result. And when there is no worship of the Lord, there is no result.
