charcoal, as it were ¹; the Drāviḍas from her tail; the Śakas from her
urine; the Yavanas from her womb, numerous Śabaras from her
dung; the Cicukas, the Pulindas, the Cīnas, the Hūṇas, the Sakelaras
from her foam as well as the Mlecchas of various kinds' (Mahā. 1.6679b–
6680a, 6682-6683, 6685) and so on.
Similarly, other individual souls, too, possess the power of various
kinds of creations, which are not quoted here for avoiding prolixity,
and also because they are not suitable here. Even in eminent indivi-
dual souls, the power of creating object is insignificant, befitting
their own powers and only given by the Lord. It is not possible
for even the freed soul to be the creator of the entire universe. This
will be made clear in the aphorism. "Devoid of the activity regarding
the universe' (Br Sū. 4.4.17)
COMPARISON
Rāmānuja and Śrīkaṇṭha
This is sūtra 28 in their commentaries. Interpretation different:
viz. And thus in the soul (the attributes of the non-sentient are not
found), for there are manifold (powers) (in different objects) That
is, we find that the sentient individual soul, which is different from
non-sentient objects, does not possess their attributes. Similarly,
these non-sentient objects themselves, fire, water and the rest, which
are different from one another, do not share one another's attributes,
but have manifold attributes. In the very same manner Brahman
who is different from both the sentient and the non-sentient does not
possess their attributes, but numerous others not found in them.²
Baladeva
This is sūtra 28 in his commentary. Interpretation different, viz.
And thus (there are mysterious powers) in the soul (viz. Brahman),
because various (powers) (belong to the tree of all desires, or to the
philosopher's stone). That is, we believe, on the ground of Scrip-
ture alone, that the tree of all desires and the philosopher's stone
possess mysterious powers, capable of giving rise to elephants, horses
