Back the Book There is also a supreme persons in the body, called paramatma, the great Lord, who is the witness situated close to the jiva, who is the permitter of the jiva’s actions, the supporter of the jiva and ruler of the jiva.
Introduction Paramatma Sandarbha is the third Sandarbha. This work describes Paramatma, since Bhagavatam delineates three aspects of the Lord: Bhagavan, Paramatma and Brahman. One Sandarbha has already been dedicated to Bhagavan. Paramatma is similar to Bhagavan, having a form and qualities. However, Paramatma in its three forms as Mahavisnu, Garbhodakasayi and Kstrodakasayi functions in relation to creation, maintenance and destruction of the material universe. Bhagavan functions in relation to devotees in the spiritual world. As well as describing Paramatma, this work describes the jiva in some detail, since the jiva-Sakti takes shelter of Paramatma. Some parts, particularly of the commentary, deal with arguments against Mayavada philosophy.
