26. And because He ( Vishnu) is directly spoken of as both (Prakriti and Purusha).

“He is woman; He is man; He is Prakriti; He is the (Purusha) Lord; He is Brahman; He is the support; He is the light, who is the Lord Hari, the cause of all; Himself without beginning or end, but the end of all; the highest of the high; the original present in all.” In this text of the Paingins, He is (directly) explicitly spoken of as both Prakriti and Purusha.

27. (Prakriti is Brahman only) also for the reason that He moulds forms out of (Prakriti the material cause); in which He (also) exhibits Himself in various forms (ways), and makes (everything).

Further The Lord is Prakriti as may be easily seen from the etymology: “He works eminently.” For the Lord enters into Prakriti the material cause, shapes it differently and in the different shapes He dwells as a ruling principle for which purpose He assumes numerous forms.” The Bhallaveya Shruti accordingly says, “Now indeed the Lord enters into Prakriti, makes Himself many, hence He is Prakriti, hence He is Prakriti, they say.”

‘The Supreme Lord Govinda, though He undergoes no change, only having entered into Prakriti, the changeable, is spoken of as Prakriti (Naradiya Purana).

No other interpretation is to be put upon it, for that would be against the authority of scripture.

28. And became Brahman is called the Source.

The state of being Prakriti consists in being the immediate means of bringing forth; and this is indeed declared only of Him, as in the text, ‘Whom the wise clearly find to be the immediate source of beings’. The wise also say that the characteristic of the male consists in being the mediate cause of bringing forth. And to bring forth directly is the characteristic of the female. Such is the distinction between the connotation of the words, male and female. The one Lord Vasudeva the Perfect Man, being both (the means of bringing forth is declared to be both Prakriti and Purusha (man and woman) or male and female by all words (by words in both the masculine and feminine gender). (Brahmanda purana).
