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

svādhyāyo 'dhyetavyaḥ "One should study the Vedas." In this way one is ordered to study all the Vedas. In the Smṛti-śāstra it is said: vedaḥ kṛtsno 'dhigantavyaḥ sa-rahasyo dvijanmanā "A brāhmaṇa should study the entire Veda, including even its confidential portions." The word "samācāre" in this sūtra means "because all are qualified to perform all pious rituals". The Smṛti-śāstra confirms this in the following words: sarva-vedokta-mārgeṇa karma kurvīta nityaśaḥ ānando hi phalaṁ yasmāc chākhā-bhedo hy aśakti-jaḥ sarva-karma-kṛtau yasmād aśaktāḥ sarva-jantavaḥ śākhā-bhedaṁ karma-bhedaṁ vyāsas tasmād aciklpad "Following the path of all the Vedas, one should regularly perform pious rituals. Bliss is the result attained by this. The Veda was divided into different branches because the people were not able to perform all the pious deeds described in the Veda. That is why Vyāsa divided the Veda into many branches and the one collection of pious rituals into many collections." Therefore, if a person is able to do so, he may understand the Supreme by performing all the spiritual practices described in all the branches of the Vedas. In the next sūtra the author gives an example of indirect reasoning leading to the same conclusion. Sūtra 4 sava-vac ca tan niyamaḥ sava—yajñas; vat—like; ca—and; tat—that; niyamaḥ—rule.
