The proposition, mentioned in the scriptural text, 'By hearing on whom, the unheard becomes heard' is this-'The knowledge of one produces the knowledge of all'. This proposition is not discarded, because the spatial ether etc. are the effects produced by the Brahman and they are not different from Him.
6. Sabdebyh
This follows from other texts. The scriptural text, namely, 'The ether is produced' makes one understand that the spatial ether is created. This statement cannot be over-ridden by the absense of the word Akasa in the text, ' He produced the fire', which declares that the fire was the first among the creatures.
7. Yavadvikaram tu vibhago lokavat
But the division (i.e. origination) extends over all
effects as in popular worldly usage.
