Commentary
[Brahman which is beyond all diversity and differentiation has all powers within it and can manifest itself in all forms. Under the influence of its 蝉惫腻迟补苍迟谤测补-艣补办迟颈 or 办腻濒补, it presents itself in a sequence and that is action. Under the influence of Dik艣补办迟颈, it brings about divisions of space. Thus though it is indivisible, it appears to have temporal and spatial divisions. Birth and death arc temporal divisions and are the basis of all action. Thus 办谤颈测腻 is a vivarta of Brahman. In the previous stanza, it was presented as a 辫补谤颈峁嚹乵补 of the 辫谤补诲苍腻苍补 [辫谤补诲丑腻苍补?].]
Now, the 蝉补迟迟腻诲惫补颈迟补 of the author of Nirukta is concluded (see stanza 23).
