īśvarādiḥ sthiro yukto yaḥ sambandhaṃ prakalpayet || 2278 ||

“As a matter of fact there can be no eternal creator and destroyer, in the shape of god or any such being, who, not having lost his memory, could set up the connection.”—(2278)

Kamalaśīla

Granting that there is real ‘Dissolution’;—even so, as at that time, there would be no creative Person, in the shape of God, who has not entirely lost his memory, intuition and other faculties,—no setting up of the Connection would be possible.

This is shown in the following:—[see verse 2278 above]

‘There can be, etc. etc.’—Because the possibility of any such Being has been repudiated in detail.—(2278)
