3.7.9

/0 maitreya uvāca
seyaṃ bhagavato māyā yan nayena virudhyate /
īśvarasya vimuktasya kārpaṇyam uta bandhanam //

Verse 9. *V.* It is by virtue of the Lords' Maya, *i.e.*, wonderful power that Iswara appears to be in misery and Mukta, too—a paradoxical position. *Note.* The relation of Jivas to bodies is due to Karma and Avidya and the consequences of that relation may lead to purushartha or not, whereas the relation of the Lord to bodies is neither due to Karma, nor meant for seeking purushartha. So His relation may be said to be only out of Leela.
