अयं तु साक्षाद्भगवान् त्र्यधीशः
कूटस्थ आत्मा कलयावतीर्णः ।
यस्मिन् अविद्यारचितं निरर्थकं
पश्यन्ति नानात्वमपि प्रतीतम् ॥ १९ ॥
In the case of Prithu Maharaja:
The vision of the sage is the conviction that 'this Naanaatva (Bheda) is
not true, bereft of any meaning, even though it appears here because it is
a product of ignorance (about the Truth)'.
The world of duality perceived in Brahman is avidya rachita, says the
Bhagavatam, and therefore bereft of substance, meaning. Even though
difference is perceived, it is not real. One alone is real.
