39. Because the same deity (spoken of as the Akshara) is (described by the terms) Satya, etc.

Satya and other words denote the qualities which only form the essence of the same Supreme Deity. This is said in the Brahma Tarka: “To Him who is different from, and exalted over, the group (series) of which the first is Nama and the last is Prana, and whose essence consists of Satya, etc., (truth, etc., etc.), (who is the true, etc.), — to Him, the glorious Vishnu, the creator of all, obeisance is made. Obeisance is made to that glorious Lord, whose qualities beginning with Satya and ending with Ahamkara are described (in the Shruti) and from whom alone the soul obtains release.”

As Prakriti also seems to have birth, etc., and She may come to be in Samsara, why is it that She is omit ted to be spoken of among Nama and others? In reply to this (the following) is said:

40. (The intelligent Prakriti has not to perform meditation for knowledge); for She becomes only manifest in other places i and also (always) remains there of Her oven accord, agreeably to the Lord’s will, as may be seen from the Shruti which has the word ‘abode’ (Ayatana), etc.

Of Her own accord She who remains in the main sphere, also manifests Herself in other places too, following the Lord’s will; for the Vatsa Shruti says, “That of which all the world is the abode, which pervades all time, on whose Will everything depends, which knows everything, which is never subject to bondage, (but) subjects everything to the bondage of life, — that is Prakriti, the (unmodified).” The following is said in the Brahma Tarka: “The Nama and others as subject to bondage and the perfect Lord as their redeemer are spoken of in the Shruti; the Avyakta or the intelligent Prakriti not being either is not spoken of in that context; similarly in another Shruti the individual soul and the Lord are spoken of and nothing else; on such occasions it is usual to speak only of the two entities (concerned).”
