Madhvaon Brahma Sūtra 2.2.40

For if he should have a body, then his existence would also be limited as that of Yagnadatta). y If not, there would result the absence of knowledge (intelli- gence). For observation shows that only the- being endowed with a body and organs acquires knowledge (is capable of perceiving). v But in the case of Vislinu all (such) objections and difficulties are removed by scripture itself as follows!: “ Of wliat is the glorious Lord made ? (Of that) His fo rm is made; of what is the Lord made ? He consists >M in- telligence and glorious power. (Ekayana Sruti)." “ We now tell you of the Lord's being endowed with know' |iedge, mind, body and limbs. He is indeed possessed of i mow- ledge, of mind, of body and oflimbs; He is of imperis' bable body ; He is fragrance; He is radiant with knowledge ; He is of unthwarted prowess, of immense wisdom, of immense bliss; He is the Lord Vishnu, supreme anal im- perishable ” (Paingins’ Sruti), and so on. The Sutrakara refutes the system that holds @aktn to be the cause.
