Sūtra translation
The contradiction (to the eternity of the Word) doe* not exist, alto for the reaton that the successive (god*) have the tame name and form, though the previou* individual does not continue in each place, a* i* seen from 8ruti and Smriti.
The contradiction disappears, for, though the previ* ous gods on obtaining release should vacate their respective places, the gods that once occupied’or that now occupy or that will occupy in the future are at all times of the same (description) in name and form, in their respective stations. For.the text says, “ As of old, etc.” ‘ In the beginning, by the absolute Lord Vishnu, the eternal Word which has no beginning or end was given out (revealed). The great Lord in the beginning appointed to the gods, etc., the same names and the same forms from the words of scripture in which they are described.’
