By the action of the mind, it comes into this body. Just as a king indeed appoints officials, saying, 'Govern these villages, govern these villages,' so indeed this establishes the life force and others separately.
Bhāṣya 03.03
Testimonial from ancient text is provided clarifying the term 'this', which in the context refers to Lord Vishnu only.
viṣṇorvāyuḥ samutpanno vāyoḥ sarvāśca devatāḥ। prāṇādyāstānnayan prāṇa ājñāpayati rājavat। svayaṃ ca pañcarūpaḥ san dadyānmokṣādikaṃ prabhuḥ॥
"From Lord Vishnu, the wind is born, and from the wind, all deities emerge. Prana, the life force, leads them and commands like a king. The Lord, in his fivefold form, grants liberation and other blessings."
iti prabhañjane।
- stated thus in the 'Prabhañjana' ancient text.
