Commentary: Sārārtha-Varṣiṇī Ṭīkā

(By Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura; the innermost intention of the commentary named ‘the shower of essential meanings’)

Here, Śrī Bhagavān establishes Himself as the cause of the universe, for He is the origin of both these potencies. The two causes of all moving and non-moving created beings are māyā-śakti as the field (kṣetra) and jīva-śakti as the knower of the field (kṣetrajña). “Thus, as the controller of both of these śaktis, I am the creator of the entire universe. At the time of annihilation, these potencies dissolve and rest in Me, the Supreme Energetic. I, therefore, am their only destroyer.”

Commentary: Sārārtha-Varṣiṇī Prakāśikā-vṛtti

(By Śrīla Bhaktivedānta Nārāyaṇa Gosvāmī Mahārāja; the explanation that illuminates the commentary named Sārārtha-varṣiṇī)

Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura quotes Kṛṣṇa as saying, “The conscious and the inert, that is, the jīvas and the inert creation, have emanated from these two prakṛtis. Both māyā-śakti and jīva-śakti are My potencies, since they originate from Me. I, Bhagavān, am therefore the root cause of both the origin and dissolution of the universe.”
