॥ 7.4 ॥
bhūmirāpo'nalo vāyuḥ khaṃ mano buddhireva ca
ahaṅkāra itīyaṃ me bhinnā prakṛtiraṣṭadhā
Anuvaad
"Prithvi, jal, agni, vaayu, aakaash, man, buddhi aur ahankaar — is prakaar yeh meri prakriti aath bhaagon mein baanti hui hai."
Bhaavaarth
Shankaracharya — sookshm tattva. Bhūmiḥ iti pṛthivī-tanmātram ucyate na sthūlā — "bhoomi" yahan sookshm tanmaatra, sthool mitti nahin (kyonki "aath mein baanti prakriti" kaha). Manaḥ iti manasaḥ kāraṇam ahaṃkāraḥ — "man" se uska kaaran ahankaar; buddhiḥ … mahat-tattvam; ahaṃkāraḥ iti avidyā-saṃyuktam avyaktam — ahankaar yaani avidya-yukt avyakt (mool prakriti); upma: yathā viṣa-saṃyuktam annaṃ viṣam ity ucyate — jaise vish mila ann "vish" kehlaata hai. Aur yeh prakriti me mama aiśvarī māyā-śaktiḥ — meri aishvarya-yukt maaya-shakti.
Aacharya Ramanuja — bhog ka jagat. Asya vicitrānanda-bhogya-bhogopakaraṇa-bhoga-sthāna-rūpeṇa avasthitasya jagataḥ prakṛtiḥ — yeh vichitra jagat — bhogya vastuein, bhog ke saadhan (indriyaan), aur bhog ke sthaan — iski prakriti gandhādi-guṇaka-pṛthivy-ap-tejo-vāyv-ākāśādi-rūpeṇa manaḥ-prabhṛtīndriya-rūpeṇa ca mahad-aṃkāra-rūpeṇa ca (corpus: महदंकार — "mahad-ahaṃkāra" ka laghu/truti-roop) aath roopon mein madīyā — meri hai.
Antar: Shankara — tattvon ko kaaran-roop (tanmaatra, mahat, avyakt) mein padhte hain aur prakriti ko maaya-shakti kehte hain; Ramanuja — prakriti jagat ka vaastavik upaadaan, Bhagavan ki "apni".
