The verse recalls once more what the book said in 4.44 and 4.56: the names are given by us.
Note the expression kṛta-abhidhā — “a made title”. The word kṛta means “made, manufactured”. The titles are manufactured.
This applies even to our dearest word — sva-ātmā, “one's own Ātman”.
And it is said: consciousness is sarva-saṃjñā-vivarjitā — “stripped of all names”.
The Vaiṣṇava proviso here is the same as before. What is cancelled is our designations taken from properties; the name He gave Himself the book nowhere calls contrived — the name of Nārāyaṇa stands in its first adhyāya without any reservation.
Avināśa-ātmā — “imperishable by nature”. One more positive attribute amid the negations.
