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

universe and Brahman is only its Primary Cause. This statement is not based only on logic, for it is also supported by the following passage of the Culika Upaniṣad: vikāra-jananīm ajñāṁ aṣṭa-rūpām ajāṁ dhruvam dhyāyate 'dhyāsitā tena tanyate preritā punaḥ sūyate puruṣārthaṁ ca tenaivādhiṣṭhitā jagat gaur anādy-antavatī sā janitrī bhūta-bhāvinī sitāsitā ca raktā ca sarvakām adhunā vibhoḥ pibanty enām aviṣamām avijñātāḥ kumārakāḥ ekas tu pibate devaḥ svacchando 'tra vaśānugām dhyāna-kriyābhyāṁ bhagavān bhuṅkte 'sau prasabhaṁ vibhuḥ sarva-sādhāraṇīṁ dogdhrīm pīyamānāṁ tu yajvabhiḥ catur-viṁśati-saṅkhyākāṁ avyaktaṁ vyaktam ucyate "The Supreme Personality of Godhead meditates on the unborn, eternal, unintelligent material nature (prakṛti), who has eight forms, and by His order the material nature creates the material worlds and the various goals of life adopted by the living entities. Material nature is a beginningless, endless cow, the mother of the worlds. Without knowing, her children, the creatures in goodness, passion, and ignorance all drink her nourishing milk. The one independent, all-powerful Supreme Personality of Godhead strongly enjoys her with thought and deed, she who is the milk-giving mother of all, who is drunk by the performers of sacrifice, and who is said to be both the unmanifested and the manifested divided into 24 elements." Furthermore, the Viṣṇu Purāṇa says: yathā sannidhi-mātreṇa gandhaḥ kṣobhāya jāyate manaso nopakartṛtvāt tathāsau parameśvaraḥ
