Sanat-Sujata said This universe shines (has come into existence) from the Supreme Soul and is distinct from the latter in name, form etc. The Vedas, too, pointing this out declare that the universe is distant (from Supreme Soul).
सनत्सुजात उवाच तस्यैव नामादिवेशेषरूपैरिदं जगद् भाति महानुभाव। निर्दिश्य सम्यक् प्रवदन्ति वेदास्तद् विश्वरैरूप्यमुदाहरन्ति॥
