Remaining like an infant, He mounted a new chariot. 'Kumāra' means a despised killer. Like an infant, [meaning] the subtle body. Abandoning each preceding body, He mounted each new body, taking along the individual soul.
'Abandoning the body of the individual soul along with the individual soul, Īśvara, / having produced another body for the individual soul, enters it, unborn' / —thus in the Mānya-saṃhitā.
Or: like a boy, an infant, [meaning] the subtle body. Or: an infant, though having a subtle body, is not a [mere] boy. 'Sapakṣat' [means] He made him endowed with the fully mature qualities of knowledge and the like. 'Mahiṣam' [means] the great one, Brahmā; 'mṛgam' [means] seeking his own Self; 'for father' [means] for Himself; 'and for mother' [means] for Lakṣmī; 'vibhukratum' [means] of complete knowledge—the meaning is that He filled him again with complete knowledge regarding father and mother.
