O god, may I become a bearer of immortality. May my body be vigorous. May my tongue be exceedingly sweet. May I hear abundantly with both ears.' 'The gods do not take up a stick and protect like herdsmen; / rather, whomever they wish to protect, they endow him with intellect'—thus in the Mahābhārata. / 'Takvan' means the creator of the world, from the verbal root 'tak' in the sense of making, / and from such usages as: 'The offspring, made through creation, does not turn back.' / And \[He is\] the leader of all. That very form is He, which is the nature of the creator and leader of the world. - [Previous: 11\_46](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darsana.dvaita.sarvamula.karmanirnaya~en-mt.11_46) - [Next: 11\_48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darsana.dvaita.sarvamula.karmanirnaya~en-mt.11_48) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darsana.dvaita.sarvamula.karmanirnaya~en-mt.11_47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darsana.dvaita.sarvamula.karmanirnaya~en-mt.11_47) · Pramāṇa
