Sūtra translation

The Lord is also called Prakriti, agreeably to the argument and illustrative instances.

“ Verily this Person alone all the names declare; just as all the rivers going to the sea, flow towards and enter it, so do all names enter and declare the Perfect Being. ” Thus agreeably to the argument and the illustration given (in the above text), the same Lord is (to be taken as) necessarily denoted by the word Prakriti also.
