13. (Such qualities as) Joy being Us head, are not meant (for the contemplation of all) but only meant for some; for there being difference (in the results), there must is greater or less (i intensity of meditation).

As there is increase or decrease, ix., the greater or less intensity of meditation (according to the comprehension of greater or less number of attributes in one mental act) so as to cause the diversity of results, all are not eligible for contemplating the Lord with the special attributes such as ‘joy being His head’, etc. In the Varaha it is said, “All the qualities are not to be contemplated in the Lord (in detail) by all; for there is gradation in the released (heavenly) state, and to such contemplation Virincha (the four-faced) only is entitled; for his bliss in heaven is of the highest measure.”

14. And the other (qualities) are to be necessarily comprehended in one mental act by others, according to the results they are entitled to.

The other qualities (i.e., all those that are between the four mentioned for men and the all meant for Brahma) with reference to the different results to which the gods, etc., are entitled, are to be comprehended in one mental act during meditation.

In the following two Sutras, the reason for the wider comprehension and the narrower one is shown by the Sutrakara.

15. For the purpose of meditation (all the attributes axe declared by Scripture), on account of the absence of any (other) purpose.

Indeed only for the sake of inducing proper (perfect) meditation all the qualities of the Lord are declared by scripture, and there exists no other purpose for the declaration, Accordingly the Parama Samhita, says: “The declaration of the qualities is made for the purpose that they may be known and contemplated as existing in Brahman; hence all the qualities are necessary to be known and to be contemplated in Hari, the purifier, and no other purpose could be seen in the Vidyas than that they are necessary for knowledge and contemplation, the performance of duties enjoined by Scripture, the study and repetition of Scripture.” In the Brihat Tantra also it is said, “Doubtless all the qualities should be known and contemplated, and no other purpose of (any) importance could be seen in their description, and from combining knowledge and meditation together of all the qualities, the most important of all ends is to be obtained, for that most important end cannot be achieved by any other means.”
