The liberated one, too, comes back
on seeing His own faith wane || That is causatively unreasonable, and
how can the liberated be worldly again? || 96 || 96. (The Vaiśesikas may advance the argument that) the liberated soul (the God) quickly comes back (reincarnates) when He sees that His own faith is being declined and derided. However, this argument is also untenable as it is flawed on two counts: firstly, there is no causative reason in the form of remaining karmic encumbrance) that may result in His rebirth in the worldly form, and, secondly, how can a liberated soul become worldly again? Thus, the author effectivly refutes this misplaced belief.
