Bhagavad Gīta Bhāshya and Tātparya
B.G 16.08
asatyamapratiṣṭhaṃ te jagadāhuranīśvaram। aparasparasambhūtaṃ kimanyat kāmahaitukam ॥8॥
They claim that the world is unreal, without any foundation, or God, and that it has arisen with mutual dependence, questioning what other cause there could be other than desire.
Gīta Bhāshya 16.08
Reality and truth are the foundations of the world, and Viṣṇu is the supreme lord. The demonic advocate the contrary. The phrase 'parasparasambhavo' conveys mutually dependent origin in terms of food, etc.
jagataḥ satyaṃ pratiṣṭhā īśvaraśca viṣṇuḥ। tadvaiparītyena āhuḥ।
Reality and truth are the foundations of the world, and Viṣṇu is the supreme lord. The contrary is advocated by them (i.e. demonic).
"tasyopaniṣat satyasya satyamiti। prāṇā vai satyaṃ। teṣāṃ eṣa satyam॥"
The secret teaching, i.e. the Upanishads, is that of reality, and is truth. Indeed, 'prāṇa', i.e. the life forces, is real. This is the truth of them."
iti hi śrutiḥ।
- thus indeed is the testimonial from the Vedas.
"dve vāva brahmaṇo rūpe mūrtaṃ cāmūrtaṃ ca sthitaṃ ca yacca sacca tyacceti। tasyopaniṣat satyasya satyamiti eṣa hyeva etat sādayati yāmayati ceti॥"
"There are two forms of Brahman: with form and formless, the existent and the non-existent. The secret teaching of this is 'the truth of reality', which indeed establishes and governs all."
iti ca prācīnaśālāśrutiḥ।
- stated thus in the ancient Vedic school testimonial.
parasparasambhavo hyuktaḥ- "annādbhavanti bhūtāni" ityādinā ॥8॥
The phrase 'parasparasambhavo', i.e. mutual origin, indeed is supported by statements such as "From food, beings come into existence" and so forth.

बहुचित्रजगद्बहुधाकरणात् परशक्तिरनन्तगुणः परमः ।
सुखरूपममुष्य पदं परमं स्मरतस्तु भविष्यति तत्सततम् ॥
"The one who has created this variegated vast universe with varied forms has infinite power and is of infinite auspicious qualities. He certainly bestows the highest state of bliss to those who meditate on his ever happy essence." -Dwādasha stōtra 4.3
