When such is the state of the universe, the foremost of Beings, viz., the Eternal and Immutable Hari originates from Ignorance, that combination of the qualities belonging to Narayana, that is indestructible and immortal, that is without senses, that is inconceivable and unborn, that is Truth's self fraught with mercy, that is endued with the form of existence which the rays of the gem called Chintamani have, that causes various kinds of inclinations to flow in diverse directions, that is divested of the principles of hostility and decay, and morality and decay, that is formless and all-pervading, and that is endued with the principle of universal Creation and of Eternity without beginning, middle, or end. There is authority for this assertion.
