When Ajaata Shatru teaches the about braman to “O äü te ävai[ is àit}a vaKy. Already he told that the very Balaki! He who is the maker of those persons whom you word ‘brahman’ is not in limited sense.

Otherwise, in general, it indicates In this context the deliberation starts. Bhrama te bravaani unlimited all pervading truth which is ‘Brahma’, theory ‘what is that to be known’ is the question? There are of everything. It cannot deal with any other subject or meny things to be known, starting from Bhrama to some other meaning which is already presented by Truna, ‘Aabhrama stamba’ that is what normally used in Balaki, starting from the son God he mentioned. But, our Shastras. But, ‘what is that to be known?’. There the listener here, Jijnaasu, is Ajata Shatru, he wants are many theories for knowing anything.

But, individual soul got its own limited sphere. So, reffring to that Purva Pakshi argues in favor of Considering all these factors neither Jiva nor Prana will Prana and other in favor of Jiva.
