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

Sūtra 57 aṅgāvabaddhas tu na śākhāsu hi prativedam aṅga—parts; avabaddhaḥ—connected; tu—indeed; na—not; śākhāsu—in the branches; hi—indeed; prativedam—according to the Vedas. Indeed, each has his part according to the different branches of the Vedas. Purport by Śrīla Baladeva Vidyābhūṣaṇa The performer of a yajña assigns different priests to perform the different parts of the yajña. The priests are thus named according to the function they fulfill in the yajña. The performer of the yajña thus tells the priests, "You become the adhvaryu priest. You become the hotā priest. You become the udgātā priest." In this way a certain priest, even though he is expert in performing all the different functions, accepts the limited role in the yajña. He does not perform all the functions in the yajña. It is not possible for him to perform all the functions in all the different branches of the Vedas. The duties are distributed among the different Vedas. The hotā priest chants mantras of the Ṛg Veda, the adhvaryu priest chants mantras of the Yajur Veda, the udgātā priest chants mantras of the Sāma Veda, and the brahmā priest chants mantras of the Atharva Veda. In this way, according to the wish of the person performing the yajña, the different priests accept different roles in the yajña and different priestly rewards (dakṣiṇā) also. In the same way, according to the wish of the Supreme Lord, the individual living entities accept different roles in their service to the Lord and they also meet the Lord in different ways according to the roles they play. Now, to explain the mellows of mixed emotions, which were displayed by Uddhava and others, and which are less pleasing, the author of the sūtras gives another example. Sūtra 58 mantrādi-vad vāvirodhaḥ mantra—mantras; ādi—beginning; vat—like; vā—or; avirodhaḥ—not a contradiction.
