Here, is the world's being śabdamaya ["made of sound"] intended to be proved either as [the world] sometimes taking the form of sound-modifications, or as [the world] sometimes being produced from sound - just as in [the expression] "prāṇāḥ are annamayāḥ," where the suffix mayaṭ indicates causation?
