JANMADYADHIKARANA 2
2. JanmAdyasya yatah
- (The Brahman is He) from whom (proceed) the
creation, etc. of this Universe.
- The scriptural text is this- 'From whom all these
beings are born; by whom, when born, they are all preserved and to whom they go back when they perish-do you desire to know that well, that is the Brahman'. (Tait. III-I-I). The meaning of the Sutra is thus-The Vedic text declares that it is the Brahman, from whom proceed the creation, the sustenance and the destruction of the world- this world is a mixture of various sentient and non-sentient beings whose enjoyment of the pleasure and pain, has been settled. In this Sutra, the word, 'from whom' is used in the ablative case to mean the causality in general; because it is applied in common to the creation, sustenance, and destruction (of the universe). His causality. in production includes his being the efficient cause as well as the material cause. It is so, because the Vedic statement 'From whom etc.' is common to both.
