गोविन्द भाष्य (श्रील बलदेव विद्याभूषण - अचिन्त्यभेदाभेद वेदान्त ब्रह्मसूत्र भाष्य सटीक)

"The dhyāna-yogīs saw the Supreme Lord's potency, which was hidden by its own qualities." The second quote is (Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad 4.1): ya eka-varṇo bahudhā śakti-yogāt "He (the Lord) who is one has become many by the touch of His potency." Then the author gives another reason in the sūtra's words tathā hi. Hi in this context means "reason". The reason is the evidence given in other passages (adhīyate eke).

The word brahma here means pradhāna, which is situated in the three modes of nature, and which is also called brahma in Bhagavad-gītā (14.3): mama yonir mahad brahma "The total material substance, called Brahman, is the source of birth."* Now our opponent may ask: How, then, is the material nature unborn?

Because it is said to be created by the Supreme it is not a contradiction to say
