Even the best among the human beings is the lowest among the qualified ones. The Seers and others are of the intermediate class. The gods are the best of the qualified ones. The Primal Breath (praana) is the excellent among the qualified ones. In the absence of realization of the Brahman, the position of the gods is not attained. With removal of the sheath (of non-awareness), one should listen to the divine play. Thus by listening repeatedly, the sheath (of non-awareness) ceases to exist. Even in gods, born as Kashatriyas, wisdom was established, as in the case of „Partha‟, when the sheath of (non-awareness) was removed by Vyasa.
For propitiation of the Supreme Sri Vishnu, who fulfills all the desires, who in every respect is the very Lord Himself, Rudra recounted His greatness, as a sacrificial offering, by reciting the Rudriya hymn. In similar manner, O Ashwins, you also became enriched with food.(In the beginning) Sriman Narayana alone existed, neither Brahma nor Shankara. In silence He brooded over. Then all these were born as Vayu, Hiranyagarbha, Agni, Yama, Varuna, Rudra, Indra etc'. 'Narayan alone existed, neither Brahma nor Ishana. Vasudeva alone existed in the beginning, neither Brahma nor Shankara'. Whomever Sri Vishnu desires, to him he makes Brahma, Shankara, Indra, Surya, Yama and Skanda. No one creates the Creator. Ever evolving, the god of the gods, Sri Vishnu alone is the Great Summation. Nothing else is Truth. Speaking anything else (as the Truth), is contradiction. Except realization (of Sri Vishnu) no other things are considered as Human goals, thus in Paingi Shruti.
