3.6.10

smaran viśva-sṛjām īśo vijñāpitam adhokṣajaḥ /
virājam atapat svena tejasaiṣāṃ vivṛttaye //

Verse 9. _Virāṭ. V._ Here means the Four-faced, not Aniruddha, the context being the creation of Vyashṭi Jīva,—along with the host of भोक्तृ जीव 's in the Samashṭi form in his body. साध्यात्म—with Jīva called अध्यात्म—as dwelling in the body (Ātman). साधिभूत—with Śabda and other objects contained in the Bhūtas, taken all together. 10. Remembering the petition of the Principles of creation (the gods presiding over them) Adhokshaja, the Supreme Ruler, subjected Virat to the force of His thoughts by means of His Tejas (spiritual light) so that they might discharge their several functions.
