From Rāmānuja’s commentary
who is essentially free from all imperfections and possesses numberless classes of auspicious qualities
the whole world different from Brahman derives its substantial being only from constituting Brahman's body
Brahman
RāmānujaViśiṣṭādvaita Vedānta
Interpretation
The Supreme Person (Purushottama), free from all imperfection, possessing infinite auspicious qualities (knowledge, blessedness, omniscience, omnipotence, supreme mercy), from whom the creation, subsistence, and reabsorption of the world proceed, and who is the ruler and inner Self of all souls and matter, which constitute His body. Ramanuja explicitly denies that Brahman can be a substance devoid of all difference or attributes.
