The work is a Vallabhacharya (shuddhAdvaita) book.  The above lines appear
to be a depiction of Advaita. We see three distinct entities there:

Jiva -  individual called 'vyashTi' - with mind as the limiting adjunct -
compared to GhaTAkAsha

Ishvara - samaShTi  - maThAkAsha

Brahman - mahAkAsha

The first two are different from each other but non-different from the
third.  This is what I could gather from the above partial text. If anyone
downloads the work and searches the words with patience, one can know
whether it is a depiction of Advaita indeed. Even if it is not, we have the
concept of Ishwara, samaShTi, being shown as maThAkAsha.

regards
subbu
