Anuvaad
"Par uttam purush to anya hai, jise paramaatma kaha gaya hai — jo avinaashi ishvar teenon lokon mein pravesh karke unka dhaaran-poshan karta hai."
Bhaavaarth
Shankaracharya. uttamaḥ utkṛṣṭatamaḥ; ātmā ca sarvabhūtānāṃ pratyakcetanaḥ; svarūpasadbhāvamātreṇa bibharti — sirf apne hone maatra se dhaaran.
Aacharya Ramanuja. baddhamuktapuruṣābhyām anyaḥ arthāntarabhūtaḥ paramātmā — baddh aur mukt dono se bhinn tattva; lokatray = acetanaṃ tatsaṃsṛṣṭaḥ cetano muktaḥ ca.
Shreedhar Swami. Uttam purush ka do-taraf bhed: ātmatvena kṣarād acetanād vilakṣaṇaḥ, paramatvenākṣarāc cetanād bhoktur vilakṣaṇaḥ — aatma hone se achetan kshar se alag, aur param hone se chetan bhokta (akshar) se alag.
Madhusoodan Saraswati. "Paramaatma" ko Taittiriya ke paanch koshon se jodte hain: annamayaprāṇamayamanomayavijñānamayānandamayebhyaḥ … paramaprakṛṣṭaḥ — annamay se aanandmay tak paanchon koshon se pare.
