"From which and which" - by the consent of the Supreme Lord, this proceeds. He is the consent giver. The mind follows the consent in the form of inspiration.
"प्रेरणाऽनुमतिः प्रोक्ता क्वचित् संवाद उच्यते। प्रेरकत्वात् भगवाननुमन्ता प्रकीर्तितः॥"

The terms "overseer and approver" indicate that approval is implied within approver. The phrase "that which is to be known" also begins with "whose influence".
