The translator’s English as printed (K. T. Telang). The original-language text is not held; names are romanised as the translator printed them.
svatara, p. 334, where Brahman is rendered to mean Prakṛiti by Sankara. See Sanatsugâtiya, p. 186, note 6, and Taittiriya-âraṇyaka, p. 894. As to the probable sense here, see p. 339, note 2 infra.
1 Le. for themselves. Cf. p. 345 infra; Yoga-sûtras, p. 227 ; and Bṛihadâraṇyaka, p. 849.
2 These include, according to Nîlakaṇṭha, the other qualities of the same class unnamed here, for which see Yoga-sûtra III, 44 (p. 207). The power of governing, i.e. producing, destroying, or combining worldly objects as one pleases; self-restraint, i.e. in the presence of tempting objects ; minuteness= power of becoming as minute as one pleases. The other qualities are lightness, largeness, and heaviness; power of attracting everything so as to be near oneself (e.g. touching the moon with the finger), power of obtaining one’s wish.
8 Cf. p. 321 supra and note 5. Arğuna Misra, and Nîlakaṇṭha also, here render it by ‘ those who go upwards.’ As to which, see Gita, p. 109.
4 Cf. for this sense, which is given by Arğuna Misra, Sankhyasara, p. 19.
5 Nîlakaṇṭha says this means that they change their minds for purposes of enjoyment by means of the impression of previous enjoyments. The changes, however, seem to be those above referred to—minuteness, &c., and the acquisition of other bodies. As to nature, cf. Gita, pp.58 and 112, with the correction made at p.318 supra.
6 This is not quite clear. Does it mean distribute among themselves or others?

The power of governing means the power to produce, destroy, or combine worldly objects at will; self-restraint means restraint in the presence of tempting objects; minuteness means the power of becoming as minute as one pleases. The remaining qualities are lightness, largeness, and heaviness; the power of drawing everything close to oneself (for example, touching the moon with one's finger); and the power of obtaining one's wish.

5 Nîlakaṇṭha says this means that they change their minds for purposes of enjoyment by means of the impression of previous enjoyments. The changes, however, seem to be those referred to above—minuteness, and so on, and the acquisition of other bodies. On nature, see the Gita, pp. 58 and 112, with the correction made at p. 318 above.
6 This is not entirely clear. Does it mean distribute among themselves, or among others?
