Chapter III: Lesson II

# Sanskrit Original Translation by Tridandi Sri Bhakti Prajnan Yati
93. तदैक्यं नानात्वैकत्वमुपाधियोगहानादादित्यवत्॥ Bhagavan is One without a second - although He appears many as Paramatma, Indwelling Monitor of all jiva-souls like the Sun reflected upon many transparent objects - because God is devoid of any modification by the adjuncts of maya.
94. पृथगिति चेन्न परेणासम्बन्धात् प्रकाशानाम्॥ Some (the Pantheist, Mayavadi) say Brahman in Its Variegated Manifestiveness may appear as such but essentially variegatedness cannot be maintained. Saguna Brahman when devoid of adjuncts becomes Nirguna Brahman therefore no variegatedness can be maintained.
95. न विकारिणस्तु करणविकारात्॥ Doctrine of Brahma-parinama-vada viz. Karana (Efficient-cause) Brahma becoming modified by maya (illusion) or with the adjunct of maya appears as jivas - this pantheistic theory cannot be maintained.
96. अनन्यभक्त्या तद्बुद्धिर्बुद्धिलयादत्यन्तम्॥ In unalloyed devotion where ontology of the Supreme Divinity is not lacking but at the very dawn of Raganuga Bhakti philosophy of supremacy is subdued by the overflow or poignancy of Love. Secondly an atmarami Brahma-jnani at the very dawn of unalloyed devotion at his heart his atividya is destroyed.
97. आयुश्चिरमितरेषां तु हानिरनास्पदत्वात्॥ Life is ever lost for those who are steeped in nescience as they run after the will-o-the-wisp, but the devotees eternally live with Bliss.
98. संसृतिरेषामभक्तिः स्यान्नाज्ञानात् कारणासिद्धेः॥ It is not due to lack of Philosophical knowledge but devoid of unalloyed devotion to God that causes the cycling of life of transmigration.
99. त्रीण्येषां नेत्राणि शब्दलिङ्गाक्षभेदाद्रुद्रवत्॥ As Shiva has got three eyes so also three Principles Pramanam: Testament, valid means of philosophy of Supreme Reality.
100. आविस्तिरोभावा विकाराः स्युः क्रियाफलसंयोगात्॥ The birth and death of a jiva-soul is due to the adjunct of maya and cycling of life of transmigration as per the results of one's own Karma, actions in life.
