Sūtra translation
And on amount of the soul not being 'possessed of (extensive perfect) power, there is nothing contrary (to the state- ment of his being separate from the Lord).
Besides, the soul is of imperfect power and therefore cannot be likened to Matsya and other manifestations of the Lord. So says the Chatuvveda Sikha : “ Of that supreme Lord (just now described) (these) are indeed three forms, Krishna, Rama, Kapila; of the same supreme Lord there are five forms, ten forms, a thousand forms and innumerable forms. Those and these forms are all perfect, are all unlimited, are all incomparable, are all immeasurable. Now the lower beings (souls); they are all imperfect, are all bound down, and then some are released. ”
