O King! This universe is only the Lord. He is the one soul of all the jīvas. He is self manifesting, not dependent on others. He is the jīva and the objects of enjoyment for the jīva. See the one Lord manifested as many by his material energy.
“You have said that the world is dependent on the Lord. If everything is dependent on the Lord, why do you say that the body is dependent on time, karma and matter?â€
That is true. Everything is the Lord because everything in this world including time and karma is the effect of the Lord’s energies. That is expressed in this verse.
The Lord is this universe (idam). Through his svarupa-sakti, in the form of paramatma, he is the soul of the jivas (atmanam). He is self-revealing (svadrk). He is the jiva (antarah) as the enjoyer. He is the happiness and distress as the external objects of experience (anantarah). The Lord appears through these three energies (svarupa-sakti, jiva-sakti, maya-sakti). See the one Lord manifested as many (urudha) such as devatas and animals, by the maya-sakti.
