गोविन्द भाष्य (श्रील बलदेव विद्याभूषण - अचिन्त्यभेदाभेद वेदान्त ब्रह्मसूत्र भाष्य सटीक)

"Two friendly birds stay on the same tree. One eats the sweet pippala fruits and the other, not eating, shines with great splendor." If the "abode of heaven and earth" had not been previously mentioned then (there would be) no (reason to assume) that the splendid bird here is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Otherwise (if the "abode of heaven and earth" had not been mentioned), the sudden, unannounced mention of the Supreme Personality of Godhead (in this little allegory of the birds) would not be acceptable. The jīva, who is already well known in the world, did not need to have been previously mentioned in the same way here. For these reasosn the "abode of heaven and earth" here refers to the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Adhikaraṇa 2 The Fullness is the Supreme Personality of Godhead Introduction by Śrīla Baladeva Vidyābhūṣaṇa Viṣaya: When, after describing the Lord's holy names and qualities, he was asked a question by Śrī Nārada Muni, Śrī Sanat-kumāra said (Chāndogya Upaniṣad 7.23.1-7.24.1): bhūmā tv eva vijijñāsitavya iti bhūmānaṁ bhagavo vijijñāsa iti. yatra nānyat paśyati nānyac chṛṇoti nānyad vijānāti sa bhūmā. atha yatrānyat paśyaty anyac chṛṇoty anyad vijānāti tad-alpam " 'One should ask about Bhūmā.' 'My lord, I wish to know about Bhūmā.' 'When one attains Him one sees nothing else, hears nothing else, and knows nothing else. That is Bhūmā. When one sees something else, hears something else, and knows something else, he knows that which is very small.' " Here the word bhūmā does not mean "many." Here it means "all-pervading." The text says yatrānyat paśyati. . .tad-alpam (When one sees something else, he sees that which is very small). The Bhūmā is contrasted against alpa (the small. The opposite of small is "all-pervading," not "many." Therefore Bhūmā here means "all-pervading." Saṁśaya: Does Bhūmā here mean prāṇa (life-breath) or Lord Viṣṇu? Pūrvapakṣa: In the passage previous to this the Chāndogya Upaniṣad (7.15.1) says prāṇo vā āśāyā bhūyān (prāṇa is better than hope). Because prāṇa is the topic immediately preceding Bhūmā, and because no question and answer intervenes between them, therefore prāṇa and Bhūmā are the same. here the word prāṇa (life- breath) means the jīva soul who has breath for his companion. It does not mean merely air. Because this passage begins by describing the jīva soul (7.1.3) tarati
