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

Adhikaraṇa 1 The Lord Should Be Sought Introduction by Śrīla Baladeva Vidyābhūṣaṇa Viṣaya (the subject to be discussed): To understand the Lord's qualities one should search all the texts of the Vedas. Saṁśaya (doubt): Should one learn about the Supreme by studying the branch (śākha) of Vedic texts in one's own community, or should one study all the branches of the Vedas? Pūrvapakṣa (the opponent speaks): Because all the branches of the Vedas are different, one should study only one's own branch of the Vedas. Siddhānta (conclusion): In the following words the author of the sūtras gives His conclusion: Sūtra 1 sarva-vedānta-pratyayaṁ codanādy-aviśeṣāt sarva—all; veda—Vedas; anta—end; pratyayam—meaning; codana— injunctions; ādi—beginning with; aviśeṣāt—because of not being different. Because the Vedic injunctions and all other sources of real knowledge are not genuinely different, therefore knowledge of Him is the conclusion of all the Vedas. Purport by Śrīla Baladeva Vidyābhūṣaṇa The word "anta" (end) here means "conclusion". The word "anta" is also used in this way in Bhagavad-gītā (2.16): ubhayor api dṛṣṭo 'ntaḥ "This they have concluded by studying the nature of both."*
