Translation of commentary:-
The great sages by meditation saw the cause of the universe, the lord nārāyaṇa, who is the inner soul of the prakṛti, who is described in the śruti as — apahatapāpmā dibyo debaḥ eko nārāyaṇa. So this prakṛti, the body of the supersoul, is the biśeṣaṇa of the supersoul nārāyaṇa. And this biśeṣaṇa is apṛthakasiddha means the body and soul relation of the prakṛti and paramātmā is eternal. The word śakti in the mantra of upaniṣada means the prakṛti. The three modes of the prakṛti is sattva, raja and tama. The word śakti signifies that the brahman is the cause of the universe. (the material nature is a potency of brahma which is the component of universe. So brahman is the upādāna kāraṇa)
The sages further realised that the brahman, whose body is the prakṛti, is the cause of the universe, and who presides over all causes. There is no equal or superior than him.
