संदर्भ में पढ़ेंIn the Rāma-tāpanī Upaniṣad it is said:

meditation the features of the Lord should be harmonious.
Siddhānta (conclusion): In the following words the author of the sūtras gives
His conclusion.
Sūtra 10

the Lord is all-pervading and because the Lord is not limited to His features in His
different ages. In sūtra 3.2.38 the Lord's all-pervasiveness was confirmed. The
