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

material body. This is corroborated by the following words of Bṛhad-āraṇyaka Upaniṣad (4.4.6): athākāmayamāno yo 'kāmo niṣkāma āpta-kāmo na tasya prāṇā utkramanti brahmaiva san brahmātyeti "One who does not desire, who has no material desires, and whose desires are all fulfilled, his life-breaths do not leave. He is spirit. He goes to the spirit." In this way the scriptures deny (pratiṣedhāt) that the enlightened soul leaves his material body. If (cet) this objection is raised, then the author of the sūtras replies, "No" (na). This means that the text of the Upaniṣad does not specifically say that the life- breath leaves the body. The meaning of this text is that the life-breath does not leave the individual spirit soul. After all, it is clearly seen that even enlightened souls leave their material bodies. Sūtra 13 spaṣṭo hy ekeṣām spaṣṭaḥ—clear; hi—because; ekeṣām—of some. Because it is clear in some. Purport by Śrīla Baladeva Vidyābhūṣaṇa In this passage of Bṛhad-āraṇyaka Upaniṣad (4.4.6) there is no room for controversy. This is so because (hi) in some (ekeṣām) recensions of the Vedas, namely the Madhyandina recension, is seen a clear (spaṣṭaḥ) denial of the idea that the life-breath does not leave the material body. This same passage in the Madhyandina recension reads: na tasmāt prāṇā utkramanti. atravaiva samavalīyante brahmaiva san brahmātyeti. "The life-breaths do not leave him (the soul). They enter there. He is spirit. He goes to the spirit."
