Just as one sunk in water, on emerging from it, seems to be born from water[32] and flings the water away, so Brahmā is both Prakṛti and the Soul.[33] The Imperceptible is declared to be his sphere of action;[34] hence Brahmā is called Kṣetra-jña, the Soul. A man should know all these characteristics of the Soul and its sphere of action.
