4. The Supreme Self, which by nature is pure Consciousness (is the basis of all modifications). When

conditioned by (His own) power of illusion known as Maya, He is known as the in-dwelling spirit

(Ishvara). In relation with the subtle bodies, He is the totality of souls identifying Himself with
them (Sutratma or Hiranyagarbha). In relation with the gross bodies, He is again the one

identifying Himself with their totality (Virat).
