Akasa as the support of all changable things. It is again questioned 'In whom is this Akas'a woven crosswise and lengthwise? ' (Brh. 3-8-7). In answering the above question the text 'This is the Indestructible (Aksara) , (Brh. 3-8-8) says that the Aksara is the support of that which is the end of Ambara (ether) contained with wind. The purport of the whole topic is this. The Akas'a which is said to be the support of all changable things is identical with the Pradhana or Avyakta, the primitive cause and merging place of Ambara (the ether) pregnant with wind. The Aksara (Indestructible one) which is said to be the support of the Pradhana is the Supreme Brahman.
