Now in this verse are being stated the results of the two constituent worships, which (results) necessitate the combination of those worships:
Anyat eva, a different result indeed; āhuḥ, they spoke of; sambhavāt, from sambhūti, the Manifested; the idea is that they spoke of the result, comprising supernormal faculties such as becoming subtle etc., accruing from the worship of the manifested Brahman (Hiraṇyagarbha). Similarly too, they anyat āhuḥ, spoke of a different result; asambhavāt, from asambhūti, avyākṛta—from the worship of the Unmanifested—that which has been referred to in the text, "They enter into blinding darkness" (Īś. 12) and is called absorption into Prakṛti (Primordial Nature) by the paurāṇikas. Iti, thus; śuśruma dhīrāṇām, we have heard the speech of the wise; who vicacakṣire, explained that to us, i.e. explained the result of the worship of the Manifested and the Unmanifested.footnote{"Māyā, depending on Consciousness and acting as a limiting adjunct of the supreme Lord, is well known in the other Vedic text: 'Know Māyā as Prakṛti (material cause) and the great Lord as the possessor of Māyā' (Śv. IV. 10)—that Māyā and not Brahman is spoken of here by the word Unmanifested, for it is not possible for the unchanging Brahman to be directly the material cause."—A.G.}
