creates new Indra etc. of the same form, like a potter makes a new pot. Hence, no contradiction will occur. How is this known ? (Reply)-Such a thing is known from the statements found in Vedic scriptures and Smrtis. The Vedic scriptural authority is this- The creator created the Sat and Asat (the existent and non-existent things) by the guidance of Veda' (Tait.Br.II-6-2.) 'He said Bhuh.' Then he created the earth' (Tait. Br. II-2-4). The Smrti text is this-'In the beginning, he assigned the several names, actions and conditions, to all beings taking them from the words of the Veda' (Manu Smrti I,21) and so on.
28. Ata eva ca nityatvam
And for the same reason, the eternity of the Vedas is estau1ished.
The creator Brahman recollects the meaning of the words used in the Vedas. Then he creates the world. Visvamitra and other sages are the composers of the Mantras as stated in the scriptural texts,'He gratifies the composers of the Mantras', and ' This is the hymn of Visvamitra '
