[Question:] Now, since the ten imperishable qualities beginning with knowledge are enumerated as belonging to Īśvara, why is he not omniscient through possessing these imperishable [forms of] knowledge? [Answer:] Even though Śaṅkara is spoken of as having the ten imperishable [qualities] such as knowledge, dispassion, and sovereignty, he too is "possessed of knowledge" only in the sense of knowing the self.
