Like the system of the Sdmkhyas the Paancaraatra system also is not authoritative, because in that system it is stated that the individual selves are created. This is opposed to what is stated in the scriptures and hence this is also not possible.
40. Na ca kartuhkaranam
And there is not the origination of the instrument from the agent.
The agent is the individual self.. The instrument is the mind. It is not stated in the scriptures, that the mind is produced from the individual self. The scriptural text is this-- 'From Him, is produced the breath, the mind and all the sense-organs' (Mund.II-1-3).
41. Vijnaanaadibhaave vaa tadaapratisedhah
Or,^ if they are held to be the Lord, who is knowJedge and the origin, there is no contradiction to that system.
^Here the term 'or' sets aside the view of the opponent, mentioned in the previous Sultras.
