If you say that the devatās who rule the bodily senses cause suffering, still, what role does the ātmā have, since two devatās become the causes and objects of infliction? Since the devatās operate all the limbs in all bodies, when one limb of the body attacks another limb in the same body, with whom can the person in that body be angry? If devatās are the cause suffering and happiness, where is the jīva’s role in this proposition, since the two devatās, who are causes of transformation or suffering (vikārayoḥ) cause the suffering? If your mouth is struck by someone’s hand, you can curse the hand “Become infected with white leprosy.” This would mean that there should be suffering for the devatās of the mouth and hand, Agni and Indra, not for the jīva. Because the devatās are the same for all bodies, one should not become angry with them. An example of one’s own body is given. When a limb like the mouth is attacked by a limb like the hand with Indra as its deity in the same body, how can one become angry at Indra who is present in all bodies? Furthermore the body itself has the earth as its presiding deity. This was mentioned in the previous verse with the word bhaumayoḥ.
