> (Ichha/sankalpa) to Create. Since satva predominates, Consciousness is not
> concealed (AvaraNa is absent)  from Iswara and  hence He is a sarvajna,
> sarvashakta, satya sankalpa etc. Thus Iswara is said to be endowed with the
> power of mAyA which in common parlance emphasizes the ability to Create and
