The unimaginable God cannot be mentioned directly
Anirdeshaat suparno dvitiyah paramaatmaa.

(Since the unimaginable God cannot be mentioned directly and hence is mentioned as the bird or Jivaatman, since God charged the same Jivaatman. Since God is different from the Jivaatman or bird, the second bird stands for denoting the different God).

The unimaginable God cannot be mentioned directly. Since, the unimaginable God charged the Jivaatman or bird, God has to be mentioned as Jivaatman or bird only. Whenever God enters a medium, God has to be mentioned in the name of that medium only. The live wire stands for current. Hence, here God is mentioned as Jivaatman or bird. But the doubt comes about mentioning God as second bird. When God charged the bird, the bird itself stands as God and there is no need of second bird. But here the second bird is mentioned. This means that God is not the bird actually and is quite different from the bird or Jivaatman. Hence, the second bird means that God is not actually bird and mentioned as the bird since God charged the bird. The word ‘second’ denotes the separate existence of the original God.
