संदर्भ में पढ़ेंsākṣāt—directly; api—also; avirodham—without contradiction; jaiminiḥ—Jaimini. Jaimini is of the opinion that the word "agni" may be interpreted to directly mean "The Supreme Personality of Godhead," and there is no inconsistency in this. Purport by Śrīla Baladeva Vidyābhūṣaṇa Just as the word vaiśvānara, interpreted to mean either "the leader (nara) of the world (viśva) or "the proprietor of all human beings (nara) in the universe (viśva)," is name of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the original cause of all causes, in the same way the word agni, interpreted to mean "the leader of all," is also a name of Lord Viṣṇu. Jaimini Muni considers that there is no contradiction in these interpretations because they are based on the specific meanings of each word's component parts. The objector may say: How can the limitless Supreme Personality of Godhead become the size of the distance between the thumb and forefinger, (as vaiśvānara is said to be in this passage of the Upaniṣad)? To answer this question he says: Sūtra 30 abhivyakter ity āśmarathyaḥ abhivyakteḥ—because of manifestation; iti—thus; āśmarathyaḥ—Āśmarathya. Āśmarathya is of the opinion that the Supreme Personality of Godhead appears in this way (a size the distance between the thumb and forefinger) because He manifests Himself (in the heart of His devotee). Purport by Śrīla Baladeva Vidyābhūṣaṇa Lord Viṣṇu appears in this way in the hearts of His devotees, who have the eyes to see Him. This is the opinion of Āśmarathya.
