16. And also on account of the supporting (of all being mentioned’), and of His glory that can be read here (in this scriptural passage).

For the supporting of the whole universe is predicated of that which is within, in the text, “This is the bridge, the main support” (Ch. VIII-4); and the greatness of His glory is to be found described (further on) in the passage, “ He is the supreme Lord of beings; He is the protector of all beings” (Bri. VI-iv-22), and so on. In this Akshara the Imperishable indeed, O Gargi, Akasha (ether) is woven warp and woof” (Bri. V. 8-11); and, ‘Indeed on the command of this, the Imperishable, O Gargi, etc.,” Bri. V-8-9). “He indeed is the supreme Lord of all; He indeed is the protector of all; i He is the ruler; He is Vishnu.” “The world subsists by Him who is the Lord of all that is living and lifeless.” Prom such scriptural passages, it; is plain, all this glory is verily His. The Skanda Purana also says, “It is Vishnu who is the one ruler of all, no other is the Lord of the universe.”

17. And on account of the settled acceptation (that that which is within subtle ether is Vishnu).

According to the text, “And there (in the heart) again is the limited sky, and in it that which untouched by sorrow abides, is to be meditated on” (Mn. 10); thus that which is within the lotus of the heart is known as Vishnu by settled acceptation. Nor does this (therefore) conflict with the scriptural passage which speaks of c the hole for the hole is mentioned only with reference to what is within it.

18. If it be said that from the reference to the other, it is the individual soul (that is in the lotus of the heart), we say ‘no’, on account of the impossibility (of the attributes in him).

“Having reached the Highest Light, (he) issues in his essential nature” (Ch. VIII-xii-3); and “this is Atman)y (Ch. IV-xv-i); so he said, In these passages, the individual soul being referred to that which is within the heart, must be the same soul. But this cannot be; for he- is not naturally possessed of the attributes of being absolutely free from sins, etc.
