39. The women (who were his wives) through ignorance thought Him to be under women's (their) influence, and as seeking after them at heart,—the women who could not take the measure (of the immeasurable nature) of the Lord, thought Him to be of their own nature, just as the notions of _Aham_, regard Isvara _viz._ Kshetrajna—[or the women regarded him who was Isvara to be like what their thoughts (notions) directed them to do].
