64 Creation of Nature<br />
One who has thousand hands, feet, thousand eyes and ears etc.,<br />
that Viraat (huge) form Kaal God, keeping all those who are under<br />

them, is himself sitting above them (separately) in the 21st brahmand.<br />

Translation: (Ev) similarly, he who is somewhat (Purush) God, he is<br />
Akshar Purush i.e. ParBrahm (ch) and (idam') he (yat') who (bhootam')<br />
has taken birth (yat') who (bhaavyam') will be born in the future (sarvam')<br />
all (yat') by effort i.e. hardwork (annen) through food grain (atirohti)<br />
develops. This Akshar Purush also (ut) doubtful (amrtatvasya) of salvation<br />
(ishaanH) is master; which means that, even Akshar Purush is somewhat<br />
God, but is not a giver of complete liberation.<br />
Translation: Similarly he, who is somewhat God, is Akshar Purush<br />
i.e. ParBrahm. And he who has taken birth or who will be born in the<br />
future, all develop through foodgrain by effort i.e. hardwork. This Akshar<br />
Purush also is a doubtful master of salvation; which means that, even Akshar<br />
Purush is somewhat God, but is not a giver of complete liberation.<br />
Meaning: - In this Mantra, there is description of ParBrahm<br />
(Akshar Purush) who is equipped with some of the qualities of God.<br />
But by worshipping him also, one cannot achieve complete<br />
salvation (mukti). Therefore, he is called as doubtful giver of<br />
salvation. He is said to have some qualities of God because, like<br />
Kaal, he does not eat after roasting on tapatshila. But in this<br />
ParBrahm’s lok also, living beings have to work hard and are paid<br />
according to their actions (karmas). And the bodies of the living<br />
beings develop with food grain only. Although, the time period of<br />
birth and death is more than that of Kaal’s (Kshar Purush’s) lok, but<br />
reproduction, destruction and the sufferings in the lives of 84 lakh<br />
species of life are inevitable.<br />
