Sūtra translation

(But in the case of Brahma), the same (i.e., compre- hension) even of the other attributes is admitted, on account of their being (eternally) connected (with Brahman), (in his com. prehension).

Such qualities as * being three-footed/ etc., being connected with the Supreme and hence being eternal are fit to be comprehended (in detail) during meditation (by Brahma, the four-faced). This is said in the Brihat Tantra also : “ Doubtless the quality of ‘ being three- footed * and all others are to be comprehended only by Brahma; and others are not entitled to it; for he is the most exalted by his virtues of all the eligible.”
