SUTRA IV. 4. 18.

प्रत्यक्षोपदेशादिति चेन्नाधिकारिकमण्डलस्थोक्तेः॥४.४.१८॥

pratyakṣopadeśāditi cennādhikārikamaṇḍalasthokteḥ ..4.4.18..

Pratyaksha, direct…. Upadeshat, on account of (direct) teaching. … Na, not. Iti, so. Chet, if. .. Na, not. … Adhikarika, those entrusted with the special function, a world-ruler, office-bearer, like Brahma, etc. … Mandalasya, spheres (i.e., of those abiding in the spheres, of those entrusted with the special functions), Ukteh, on account of the statements.

18, If it be objected that this is not so, because there is direct Scriptural teaching (to the effect that a Mukta becomes a world-creator), we reply, it is not so: because those texts declare (that the Mukta enjoys pleasures) in-the spheres of world-rulers. — 555

COMMENTARY

If an objector say, «the Shruti itself directly teaches that the Mukta can create a world; and so it is not proper to deny to him the power of world-creation», we reply to him thus, «The texts are wrongly interpreted by you. They refer to the power of every Mukta, to go to the spheres of cosmic rulers like Brahma and the rest: and there enjoy all the pleasures of those spheres, through the kind permission of the Supreme Ruler». Thus the Muktas, like the Kumaras, Narada and the rest, have unobstructed power of movement in every sphere, and this is what is meant by the word «Kamachara», «freedom of movement». The rulers of those spheres, moreover, honour such august visitors with all reverential offerings; and this is what is meant by the phrase «sarve deva balim asmai avahanti» — all Devas bring offerings to him. Those two texts am not an authority for holding that a Mukta can be a world-creator. They merely show that a Mukta participates, through the most merciful kindness of the Lord, in all enjoyments to be found in those phenomenal spheres which declare His glory.

Says an objector: If a Mukta enjoys all the pleasures to be found in the various worlds of phenomena, then he is no higher than an ordinary world-current-driven soul (Samsari Jiva), for all phenomenal pleasures have an end. The next Sutra answers the objection.
