Purport [भावार्थ - स्वामी दयानन्द] - O men! you should know that the eternal matter, consisting of three attributes (Satva, Rajas and tamas), is the material cause of the world. It is God Who by His infinite power upholds the universe and therefore all souls take on suitable bodies according to their deeds. If God would not have created the world (out of matter), no soul would have been able to assume the body.
