पुंस्त्वादिवत्त्वस्य सतोऽभिव्यक्तियोगात्

puṃstvādivattvasya sato'bhivyaktiyogāt

Sūtra translation

And on account of the fact that only the qualities essentially existing (in the thing) become manifest like virile power, etc., through the grace of the Lord, the (latter) scriptural statement holds true.

Just as the virile power which actually exists in the child becomes manifest in youth, so also blessedness and other qualities forming part of the soul's essence become manifest on his release, and with reference to this (fact) the scriptural statement proceeds. The Ganpavana Sruti says, "Strength, blessedness, energy, endurance, un- clouded wisdom, all essential attributes of the soul be- come manifest through the grace of the Almighty Lord.”
