TRANSLATION
Maitreya continued:  O killer of the enemy, the unborn Lord Brahmā, who is almost independent in acquiring knowledge, could understand that a portion of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, in His quality of pure existence, had appeared in the womb of Devahūti just to explain the complete state of knowledge known as sāṅkhya-yoga.
PURPORT
In  Bhagavad-gītā , Fifteenth Chapter, it is stated that the Lord Himself is the compiler of  Vedānta-sūtra , and He is the perfect knower of  Vedānta-sūtra . Similarly, the  sāṅkhya  philosophy is compiled by the Supreme Personality of Godhead in His appearance as Kapila. There is an imitation Kapila who has a  sāṅkhya  philosophical system, but Kapila the incarnation of God is different from that Kapila. Kapila, the son of Kardama Muni, in His system of  sāṅkhya  philosophy, very explicitly explained not only the material world but also the spiritual world. Brahmā could understand this fact because he is  sva-rāṭ , almost independent in receiving knowledge. He is called  sva-rāṭ  because he did not go to any school or college to learn but learned everything from within. Because Brahmā is the first living creature within this universe, he had no teacher; his teacher was the Supreme Personality of Godhead Himself, who is seated in the heart of every living creature. Brahmā acquired knowledge directly from the Supreme Lord within the heart; therefore he is sometimes called  sva-rāṭ  and  aja .
Another important point is stated here.  Sattvenāmśena : when the Supreme Personality of Godhead appears, He brings with Him all His paraphernalia of Vaikuṇṭha; therefore His name, His form, His quality, His paraphernalia and His entourage all belong to the transcendental world. Real goodness is in the transcendental world. Here in the material world, the quality of goodness is not pure.
