8. And (the enjoyment results) from mere wish, (as may be seen) from the Shruti declaring that.

There is no necessity for making any effort to obtain the blessings, etc., on the part of the released; for this is shown by scripture (as follows): “If he desires the world of his fathers, by his mere will (wish) the fathers rise, etc.” (Ch. VIII. 2. 1).

9. And for this very reason, (the released) is without any other ruler, i.e., other than the higher souls and the Lord.

For the very reason that the released has real desires, (he is not under the control of any other than the Supreme Being and those released souls that are his superiors). The Varaha Purana has the following: “Of all the released the Supreme Lord Vishnu is doubtless the sole ruler, — equally of all from Brahman the four-faced down to men. Next to Narayana, from Prana to Naman (from Brahma to Usha) all are in regular order the lords of those below them; so also are the preceptors by whom right knowledge has been firmly implanted in them; and it is a fact beyond doubt that the released have no ruler over them other than the aforesaid.”

10. Badari considers that the released have no physical frame (and their enjoyment proceeds with the essentially intelligent body); for Scripture speaks to that effect.

Badari says that except one of pure intelligence, the released have no other body; for it is said in the Kauntharavya Shruti thus: “Indeed he then becomes destitute of body; and him that is without a body, pleasure and pain do not touch, with which indeed this embodied being is afflicted.”

11. Gaimini asserts the existence of a physical body (too), on, account of alternatives declared (in the Shruti).

Jaimini thinks that there is also the other body (i.e. other than the body consisting of pure intelligence) in the case of the released as optional assumption of such a body is spoken of in the Uddalaka Shruti thus: “He who thus knows the Supreme Lord, when released, sees Him, hears Him distinctly, with a lustrous body consisting only of intelligence or non-intelligent matter (Shuddhasatva), everlasting or temporary; and thereby he becomes simply blessed and blessed only, and nothing that is not blissful touches him.”
