139. sarvamAtA

She who is inferred from the resultant act (jagat) as

She is its cause.

 

SHE is inferred by the resultant act, i.e, jagat, because SHE is

its cause and not different from it. This jagat which is within

HER manifests only her reality by being one with HER. Just as a

blanket can be apprehended only as a something resulting from

yarn and identical with it.

 

Here, by the panchAvaya vAkya, the proposition that jagat is not

different from brahman is established. The five steps are

 

(1) pratij~nA [Enunciation]

(2) hetu [Reasons]

(3) udAharaNa [illustration]

(4) upanaya [inference] &

(5) nigamana [Conclusion]
