संदर्भ में पढ़ेंentities to liberation just as milk brings nourishment to a calf. The word ātmā in
this passage may refer to pradhāna either because pradhāna brings happiness to

Sūtra 1
dyu-bhv-ādy-āyatanaṁ sva-śabdāt
dyu-of heaven; bhv-and earth; ādi-beginning with; āyatanam-the abode; sva-

and no one else. Because it comes from the verb sinoti, which means "to bind," the
phrase amṛtasya setuḥ means "He who enables one to attain the eternal." Or the
word setuḥ here may mean "like a bridge." As a bridge enables on to cross to the
