Just as clouds in the sky come into being and are then destroyed, the material universe with its parts is created and destroyed within Brahman. Non-difference of cause and effect in pariṇāma-vāda was shown. Now the real existence of the Supreme Lord, the cause of the universe which has beginning and end, is shown according to arambha-vāda in two verses. Just as clouds are created and destroyed in the sky, the universe is created and destroyed in Brahman. The example of sky is used to show that the Paramātmā is not contaminated by the universe, just as the sky is not contaminated by formation of clouds. The universe with its parts such as a pot, with a beginning and an end, is not factual through all time since it has a beginning and end.
