6. They (the gods) do not enter into (only) one element; for the two texts show (that).

Into only one element all the rest of the gods do not enter; for the texts declare thus: “Into Prithivi (Earth), Ribhus enter; into Varuna, Ashvins; into Agni, Agnis; into Vayu, Indra, Soma, Aditya, Brihaspati (and others; and into Akasha (the sky) only the Sadhyas enter” Mahopanishad. “Mrityus enter into Prithivi (Earth); Waters into Varuna; Agnis into Agni; Maruts into Marut; and into Akasha Vinayakas” — Chaturveda Sikha. Hence it should be understood that the gods meant here are only those that are mentioned in the text: “Into Agni the gods enter, etc.”

7. The intelligent Prakriti is not withdrawn into the Lord; for she is co-existent with the Person (the Lord) (in time and space), never subject to mundane bondage; and she is blessed eternally, but not in consequence of meditation.

(The word) ‘Samana’ used in the original is interpreted thus; “(She) to whom ‘Na’ (the Supreme Being) is Sama (equal) in point of pervasion in time and space is Samana.

She is, by her very nature, immortal and eternally blessed; for Samsara (the state of embodied existence) never approached (assailed) her; and Brihat Shruti also says: “Two indeed are un-assailed by Samsara, viz., Prakriti and Parama (the Supreme Being); both these are eternally blessed, are of immutable essence, are present everywhere; on knowing these two, the soul is released. But by this, however, (it should not be supposed) they are both equal (in all respects).

8. For, to enter into her (to be withdrawn into her) is said to be the beginning of Samsara; (while to enter into Him is to be released from Samsara).

This distinctly appears from the Sauparna Shruti which runs thus: “These two are equal, viz., Prakriti and Parama; they are of immutable essence, are present everywhere, and are eternally blessed; again these two are not equal, viz., Prakriti and Parama; (for) the individual withdrawn into Prakriti goes to the Samsara; but he who is withdrawn into the Parama indeed attains to immortality.”
