of all the phenomena of the material and intellectual world,

in this and in a future life: ‘ya imaṃ ca lokaṃ paraṃ ca lokaṃ

sarvāṇi ca bhūtānyantaro yamayati’; ‘adhidaivatamadhilokamadhi-

vedamadhiyajñamadhibhūtamadhyātmaṃ ca kaścidantaravasthito yamayitā-

ntaryāmī’; not merely ‘the individual Soul of a divinity, of

a living being &c.’, but the same as the paramātman; ‘antaryāmya-

dhidaivādiṣu taddharmavyapadeśāt’…‘tasmātparamātmaivāntaryāmī’.--
