This passage from Anandagiri's gloss on the verse 'nārāyaṇaḥ
paro'vyaktāt..' of the BGB introduction:

परमात्मा हि *स्वाज्ञानद्वारा जगदशेषमुत्पाद्य
*स्वात्मन्येवान्तर्भाव्याखण्डैकरससच्चिदानन्दात्मना
स्वे महिम्नि तिष्ठतीत्यर्थः ।

Ajñāna for Paramātmā? This IMO is indicative of the DSV where the
'paramātmā is the only sentient entity that creates the universe and holds
it within that consciousness....
