Nitāi: "All these are considered the qualified Brahman. The mixing element, which is known as time, is counted as the twenty-fifth element."
Prabhupāda:
- etāvān eva saṅkhyāto
- brahmaṇaḥ saguṇasya ha
- sanniveśo mayā prokto
- yaḥ kālaḥ pañca-viṁśakaḥ
- (SB 3.26.15)
So saṅkhyāta, saṅkhyāyati iti sāṅkhya. This is Sāṅkhya philosophy, to know analytical study of the whole cosmic manifestation. That is called Sāṅkhya philosophy. It is physical. And the kāla is via media. And then the soul and the Supersoul. So if we understand thoroughly this analytical study of the whole thing, then we know Sāṅkhya philosophy, saṅkhyāta, Sāṅkhya, in its numerical count.
