36. (And the doctrine is untenable) even on the supposition that the final size is permanent; for then, from parity (of reasoning), both (the soul and the body) would have to be admitted permanent.

If the soul should be devoid of size, there could be no existence of it. Therefore, in order that it might have that size with which it could remain (a permanent entity) in the released state, and according to the doctrine “ no size being possible without a body to measure it, the body (occupied in the released state) also should become permanent Thus generally, both the soul and the body would have to be granted as permanent entities; (especially) for the reason that the body in the mundane life is in no way different from the body which is granted to account for the size in the filial state. From this, it follows that even the body during the mundane existence is permanent, (which is absurd).

The Sutrakara refutes the Siddhanta (system) that holds Pashupati or Rudra to be the Supreme Being, (the system propounded in the Pashupata Agamas).

Ishwara, the Pashupati (Rudra) cannot be the cause of the world; for he is dependent and consequently unfit to be the cause, as appears from the texts, “Whomsoever I like, I make; I can make (Rudra) the fierce, Brahma (the four-faced), the sage, the intelligent.” (Rv. X., 125. 5). “I string the bow against Rudra, who brings miseries on the haters of Brahman, indeed, for killing him.” (ib. 6) “O Ashvins, you both have attained to this perfectly happy rank by the Grace of that Lord Vishnu, — the Lord who is most illustrious, and most powerful, and the Lord of all, having worshipped whom with offerings, and (sacrificial) acts and meditation, Rudra who is the presiding deity of Ahankaratatva, who impels the souls into worldly ways, obtained this proud rank of the Rudras”; (Rv. VII. 40. 5.) “Narayana alone was, then was neither Brahma, nor Ishana (Rudra), nor were there Agni and Soma.” (Mn. 1).
