20. (The one) within is (Vishnu only) on account of His qualities being declared of him (the indweller).

The one declared (by scripture) to be within is but Vishnu. For in the (following) texts the qualities of Vishnu as the ruler within are described, “ Brahma perceived Him who offers the objects to the ten senses who is dwelling of His own accord in the sea.” (T. A. iii-2-1). The wise know Him to be dwelling in the sea”. “The Brahmas pray to Him as the mainstay of all the souls of limited light ” (T. A. iii-2-1). (I am ordained by that Immortal Lord) whose essence is said to be the cause of the egg of the universe”. (T. A. iii-ii-4). Indeed it is He that dwells on the sea of milk, and His essence is the universe. For Vyasa Smriti says “He having designed, and intending to produce the various kinds of beings out of His self, first created water and into the water He introduced His essence. That grew up into the golden egg radiant like the sun of thousand rays. And within the egg Brahma the Grandfather of all beings issued (from the independent Lord). Water is called Narah, since water is produced by Nara (the Lord Vishnu). And the water was in the beginning the abode of the Lord. Hence He is known as Narayana.” In the Chaturveda Sikha there is the following, “That all-pervading thing perfect in six-fold excellence, which is not to be abandoned, which guides all the souls, which is called Narayana, was in the beginning. From this. Person first issued Prakriti (Lakshmi), next the Egg full of living beings”.

21. And He is a different one, (also) from the indication of difference.

The indication of difference is contained in the texts such as “The Lord who is the inner guide of Indra and brings about the experience of objects to the five senses abides in every heart.” "The wise (have) found him the inner guide of Vayu. Brahma found Him dwelling of His own accord in the sun and found Him (to be) the heart of the gods.” (T. A. iii. 11).

In the text “Who indeed could make (the world) act and make it act well, if this Akasha should not be bliss?” reason is given for considering Akasha to be ‘the blissful’, but not Vishnu. But this position cannot be maintained.
