Sūtra translation
And on account of (tie Sruti containing) the indica- tory circumstance, viz., the uniformity of experience in all the blessings enjoyed, (there exists no cause of increase or decrease of the blessedness of the released).
Further there is nothing against the tlnchangeable- ness of the heavenly state from1 the variety of enjoyments; for amidst all the variety of enjoyments, the equality, i.e.t the unchangeableness of the released is distinctly pointed out by the Sruti thus : “ Having entered into this bliss- ful Lord, he has no birth again, no death, no decrease, no increase, eats what he likes, drinks what he chooses, sports as it pleases him or ceases to do anything at his will.” (Tait. V. II. 8). The Kurma Purana says: “ That the released have no increase or decrease is the rule ; any occasional peculiarity, however, is not denied of them.” The Narayana Tantra has the following * “The change of increase and decrease like the ebb and flow of a current does not in any respect occur in the state of the released; nor is there anything undesirable in it at any time ; and there is absolutely no touch of misery ; for bliss only shines upon them for ever. However there may be peculiarity in the different particulars of blessiugs enjoyed j (while the consciousness of being blessed is one throughout). ”
