The Vedas, which are spread everywhere by me because I possess many forms, pervade everywhere as Brahman, and possess unlimited powers, are perceived by the wise as nāda within all beings, subtle as the threads within the lotus stalk. “How does such sound manifest within the living entities?” The Vedas are spread everywhere by me (upabṛṁhitam). “How can the Vedas which appeared in unlimited forms in unlimited Vaikuṇṭhas and unlimited universes be spread by you alone?” It is spread by me, because I have manifold forms (bhūmnā) and am the all-pervading Brahman. Not only am I all-pervading, I possess unlimited powers. Thus I can do this. The Veda is seen as nāda by the wise in all beings. An example is given of the subtle nature of nāda within. It is like the fine thread within the lotus stem.
