Sūtra translation
Because (the terms which ate names of Brahman) are drawn upon (to denote the things of the world).
The words which denote Brahman, the Lord, are taken (borrowed) from Him and used to denote other things. The Padma purana accordingly says, “ The words which designate the Supreme Being are always taken up for use in the world in speaking of other things according as it may be necessary for accomplishing the purposes of the World as well as Scripture. But then the question arises how such words obtain usage in denoting the things of the world.
