Read in contextIt is not universal. Purport by Śrīla Baladeva Vidyābhūṣaṇa The passage (Chāndogya Upaniṣad 1.1.8) referred to in sūtra 4 does not have all transcendental as its scope. It refers the udgītha-vidyā. Therefore all transcendental knowledge is not a subordinate aspect of Vedic rituals. (In the next sūtra Vyāsa refutes the argument given in sūtra 5.) Sūtra 11 vibhāgaḥ śata-vat vibhāgaḥ—division; śata—a hundred; vat—like. The distribution is like a hundred. Purport by Śrīla Baladeva Vidyābhūṣaṇa The results of Vedic yajñas and transcendental knowledge, as described in Bṛhad-āraṇyaka Upaniṣad 4.4.2 (quoted in sūtra 5), are actually different. Transcendental knowledge brings one result and Vedic yajñas bring a different result. In this sūtra the example of a hundred is given. A cow and a goat may be purchased for a hundred coins. The cow cost ninety coins and the goat cost ten coins. The cost was not equally divided with each costing fifty coins. In the same way transcendental and Vedic yajñas (combine to determine the future of the individual soul) but they do not have the same influence in determining it. In the next sūtra Vyāsa refutes the argument given in sūtra 6. Sūtra 12 adhyayana-mātra-vataḥ adhyayana—study; mātra—only; vataḥ—of one who possesses.
