Verse 2.327

Sanskrit text and transliteration:

अपि सङ्क्रमणादस्य कार्यताऽध्यवसीयते ।
कार्यात्मनां हि सङ्क्रान्तिर्युज्यते कारणात्मनि ॥ ३२७ ॥

api saṅkramaṇādasya kāryatā'dhyavasīyate |
kāryātmanāṃ hi saṅkrāntiryujyate kāraṇātmani || 327 ||

English translation of verse 2.327:

Since (the ānandamaya) is also transcended, its being a modification is well-established. The transcending of effects in their cause is, indeed, appropriate.

Notes:

There is also another reason to show that the ānandamaya is not the supreme Self. The Taittirīya Upaniṣad says in the sequel (II, viii, 5) that a person after departing from this world transcends the annamaya, the prāṇamaya, the manomaya, the vijñānamaya, and the ānandamaya. This transcending (saṅkramaṇa) is possible only in the case of what happens to be an effect or a modification. Further, only if there is a cause, the act of transcending, or passing from, the effect is tenable. It is well-known that an effect can pass into, or merge in, its cause. It means that there is something other than the ānandamaya which serves as its cause, support, or resting place. So it is not the ānandamaya that is Brahman, but its support is Brahman.
