From the facts of going and the use of the word (Brahma-loka), (it follows that the small Space is Brahman); likewise it is seen in other Upanishads and an indicatory mark is also present.
And owing to the fact of holding (the worlds) in place, (the small Space must be God); for this glory is noticed (in other texts) as pertaining to Him.
ॐ itaraparamarsat sa iti cennasambhavat ॐ || 1.3.18||
If it is argued that the other one ( the individual soul) should be the small Space, since it is alluded to (at the end), then not so, for that is impossible.
If it be argued that the small Space is the individual soul, because of the subsequent reference to it (in the same chapter), then we say: rather it is spoken of there in its own revealed nature.
Because of the fact of acting (shining) in accordance and because of the use of the word "His", (the Light mentioned in the Mundaka Upanishad must be Brahman).
If it be objected that this (corporeality of the gods) wilt give rise to a contradiction (in the matter of the gods being associated) in rites, then we reply: Not so, for in the Vedas are noticed the assumption of many bodies.
If it be objected that this contradicts the validity of Vedic words, then not so, for the universe arises from this, which fact is proved by direct revelation and inference.
And there is no contradiction, since similar names and forms are repeated even in the revolution of the world cycles, as is known from the Vedas and the Smriti.
Jaimini asserts (that the gods and others have) no competence (for knowledge of Brahman), owing to the impossibility of their competence for Madhu-vidya.

To him (Janasruti) occurred grief on hearing his (swan's) disparaging utterance, as is evident from Janasruti's approaching him (Raikva), for this is hinted at by Raikva.
