The teacher Badari thinks that the representation in the text of the supreme Self in the form of a man is for the purpose of devout meditation. 'He who in this way meditates on that Vaisvanara Self as "pradesamatra" and "abhivimana," he eats food in all worlds, in all beings, in all Selfs. What this text enjoins is devout meditation for the purpose of reaching Brahman.
The context is as follows. The clause 'He who meditates on the Vaisvanara Self as pradesamatra, &c. enjoins meditation on the highest Self having the three worlds for its body, i.e. on Vaisvanara. The following clause 'he eats food in all worlds' teaches that the attaining of Brahman is the reward of such meditation.
