10. And on account of the too discussion.

For the topic under discussion in the passage is Vishnu (Narayana) engaged in the creation of water and the four-faced called Samvatsara.

The Brahmavaivarta purana says, “ Before creation, there was nothing of the dependent world and there was only Hari called Mrityu. By His supreme will, Janardana (the redeemer) created water; dwelling on that (expanse of water). He (the glorious Lord) created the grand egg of the universe. In the universe, the mighty Lord created Brahma called Samvatsara. The Lord opened his mouth to devour him, when he (Samvatsara) shouted out (for fear). Then taking pity on him, the all-pervading Lord appointed him the maker of the world. The able Brahma (then) created all the worlds to be offered to Hari (the devourer).

The Supreme Lord has been said to be the one devourer fall. But in the Katha text (I. 3. i.), “The sages who cherish the five fires and have thrice performed Nachiketa sacrifice, say that the two that are seated within the most exalted (of souls, viz., Vayu) in the heart of those persons whose body is hallowed on account of meritorious deeds, and (the two) that drink the sweet essence of righteous acts, are like the shade and the hot sun (to the righteous and the unrighteous respectively) there appear (some two that are said to be drinking).” Who are those two?

This question is answered here.

11. The two (who have entered) into the cave, are indeed, both Atman (the Lord), from this very well-known characteristic, and from scripture to that effect.

The two in the cave (heart) that are drinking (the essence of bliss) are only the two forms of Vishnu. ‘The glorious two part undergory where have taken their abode in the body composer by three elements, to which (body) for the purpose of worshipping them (the two forms) Vayu has repaired’. (Rv. x. 114. 1). This and like texts speak to that effect. Brihat-Samhita also says ‘The one Lord Hari assumes the two forms known as Atman and Antaratman, though He is individual one, dwells in the heart of beings and accepts the pure pleasure arising from their good works. The Padmapurana says, “ Lord Hari always enjoys only what is blissful and never the opposite. Who can possibly conceive the action of the Lord of perfect bliss?” This dwelling in the cavity of the heart is a well-known reference to Vishnu (Brahman) in such texts as “ He who knows that Brahman as hidden in the cave of the heart,” (T. U. ii. 1.), which is indicated by the particle of emphasis Hi’ (indeed) in the Aphorism.
