21. He who is possessed of the attributes of being invisible, etc. is (Vishnu), on account of the declaration of the characteristic (of His being the subject of the higher knowledge).

After adducing the instances of the earth, etc., and subsequent to the text, “Everything in the world proceeds from the Imperishable, 1 v mention is made of the most exalted of the exalted among the imperishable; from this mention made in Shruti, and from the Smriti, u The unchangeable is called Akshara (the imperishable),” (B.G. xvii. 16), Prakriti seems to be declared.

And from the word Brahman, as also from the reference to the most exalted, Hiranyagarbha may (also) be meant.

But the above views cannot betaken; for in the texts it is said), %< Of the eligible, he who knows Him thus becomes immortal.” (T. A. iii. 12-7).

“That is the deed which meets with the approbation of the Lord Hari, and that is knowledge which comprehends Him “Now two branches of study are to be distinguished; the superior and the inferior; of these, all the Vedas, grammar and other supplementary disciplines, Ayurveda and other incidental subjects, poetry and other arts of a general nature constituted study for inferior knowledge. Then the higher (superior) study is that by which the Lord (Hari) is to be known, who is invisible, untouched by the three qualities of matter, who is perfect and the highest Lord it being clearly stated that the object of higher knowledge is Hari, — which is made out to be the characteristic of Vishnu, it is to be concluded that Vishnu alone is pointed out to be the possessor of the attributes of being invisible, etc.

22. And from the distinctive attributes and the statement of difference, the two others (are not described by the attributes of being invisible. etc.).

From the attributes declared in the text, “(He) who is all-knowing, who is the master of all, whose meditation is perfect wisdom,” (Matter) Prakriti cannot be the invisible; nor could Virincha be the invisible, etc., the distinction being drawn in the text, “From this (the Imperishable) are born this four-faced Brahman, and the deity presiding over Form, Name and Food.

Prakriti which is of the lifeless character is called the lower Akshara. The spiritual Prakriti dependent upon Vishnu is called the higher Prakriti or Shri whom they call higher Akshara; and consequently they call Hari perfect in excellences, the (Imperishable) Akshara higher than the higher; thus three Aksharas (imperishable entities) are spoken of. From this explanation found in the Skanda Purana, of the three Aksharas, “The higher than the higher Akshara” is indeed a distinguishing attribute (of Brahman). And from the text, “He is rid of misery who sees the other (than the soul), Isa (the Lord) worshipped by the gods, and contemplates His glory” (Ath. iii. 1-2), the express mention of separateness by the word (Anya) ‘other’ precludes the taking of the (internal ruler) to be Rudra, though suggested by (the use of) the word ‘Isa’.
