अणुभाष्य (महाप्रभु वल्लभाचार्य - शुद्धाद्वैत वेदान्त ब्रह्मसूत्र महाभाष्य प्रकाश टीका सहित)

trikālātītatvam, nitya-vartamānatvam-pravartamānatvañca jñāpyate” i.e. the sports of Bhagavān are beyond the three tenses, past, present and future – it is ever in the present – and will also be in future – is denoted. “bahūni santi nāmāni rūpāṇi ca sutasya te | guṇa-karmānurūpāṇi tānyaham Veda no janāḥ ||” (Bhāga. 10/8/15) Here, the word “santi” is used; it is evident from this that the līlā is eternally present.

Let the un-worldly sports of Bhagavān be not the product of māyā; but, as in the world, on the question “are the sports the products of māyā or not”, the answer is an emphatic ‘no’. As xxiii
