Purport by Śrīla Baladeva Vidyābhūṣaṇa In the Ṛg Veda (10.90.3) it is said: pādo 'sya sarvā bhūtāni "All living entities are part and parcel of the Supreme." In this way the Vedic mantras declare that the individual spirit souls are part and parcel of the Supreme. The word "pāda" here means "part". No other meaning makes sense in this context. The word "sarvā bhūtāni" (all living entities) here is in the plural, whereas the word "aṁśaḥ" (part) in sūtra 41 is in the singular. The singular here is used in a generic sense to denote all spirit souls. This kind of usage is also seen in many other places. Sūtra 43 api smaryate api—also; smaryate—in the Smṛti-śāstra. Also in the Smṛti-śāstra. Purport by Śrīla Baladeva Vidyābhūṣaṇa
