Meaning
The prakaraṇa is named and its thesis given. Utpatti means arising, origination, and this part of the work is about how the world comes to be. But its point is in the second line: whatever arises is free. The commentary: after the story of the dissolution I shall tell the order of arising; whatever arises is free, that is, abides in its nature free of bondage. The world is a turning (vivarta) of the changeless Brahman, its only material; since bondage is false, freedom is already established. That, the commentary says, is the purpose of this whole prakaraṇa.
