59. The attribute of perfectness being present with, i.e., modifying every other attribute is the most important as Kratu (is of all the sacrificial acts); thus Shruti declares; (hence the attribute of perfectness is to be contemplated by all).

Of all the qualities the attribute of perfectness is the most important and it co-exists with all attributes as Kratu (forms the constant part of every Yaga); for it is the attribute of every one of the qualities. (Every excellent attribute in Brahman is to be contemplated as perfect). By Kratu here are meant collectively the chief (and constant accessory acts in a Jyotishtoma known as Deeksha Prayaneeya, Udayaneeya, the three Savanas, and Avabhrita, (which form part of every Yaga). Accordingly the Gaupavana Shruti says, “The glorious Supreme Being is to be contemplated only as perfect; for the imperfect cannot bestow the (desired) fruit on these (the souls). Therefore, perfectness is the most important of all the qualities as Kratu is in the midst of sacrificial acts.”

60. (And this perfectness is perceived and contemplated) in various degrees, as the Word and other (means of knowledge differ.

“The Word, Reasoning, and Sensuous Perception according to the difference in the capability of the souls, differently show the same thing to Brahma and others; hence the perfectness of the Lord is discovered to them only in different degrees; consequently the intensity of meditation differs as well as the fruit thereof.” From this statement in the Brahma Tarka, perfectness also is but differently (comprehended and) contemplated.

61. There is a choice, as to meditating on other forms of Brahman with reference to special purposes;

After the meditation for which an individual is eligible, the meditation with reference to particular objects of some one form of Brahman may be optionally made. This is said in the Brahma Tarka: “For the sake of release the meditation to which one is fitted is indeed to be first practised, and then for the sake of getting rid of (the present) evils, etc., Nrisimha and other manifestations of Brahman are contemplated by the devotees according to their fitness; others do not resort to this meditation at all as their purpose differs or as they have no such purpose, (i.e., either because they have no evils to rid, or they think this may interfere with their chief meditation, or they may have everything accomplished by the chief meditation).
