वेदान्त पारिजात सौरभ (भगवद् निम्बार्काचार्य - द्वैताद्वैत वेदान्त ब्रह्मसूत्र भाष्य सटीक)

[SŪ. 1. 2. 5. 98 VEDĀNTA-PĀRIJĀTA-SAURABHA ADH. 1.] Śiva is designated to be the object to be worshipped, Nārāyaṇa, the worshipper).¹ SŪTRA 5 "ON ACCOUNT OF THE DIFFERENCE OF WORDS." Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha That which possesses the attributes of 'consisting of mind' and the like is the Highest Self, different from the embodied soul, because in the text: 'This soul of mine within the heart' (Chānd. 3.14.3, 4²) the individual soul and the Highest Self are denoted by different words, viz the genitive and the nominative respectively. Vedānta-kaustubha For this reason, too, that which possesses the attributes of con- sisting of mind and so on, is the highest self, different from the embodied soul. Why? "On account of the difference of words", i e. because of another scriptural passage of kindred subject-matter, viz. 'Like a grain of rice, or a barley-corn, or a grain of millet, or the kernel of a grain of millet, such is the Golden Person within the self' (Śat. Br. 10.6.3 2), there is "difference of words", viz. the locative 'within the self' denotes the embodied self, while the nominative 'the Golden Person' denotes the Highest self.³ COMPARISON Śrīkaṇṭha Reading same, interpretation different, viz. ('Brahman, viz. Śiva, is other than and superior to Nārāyaṇa) on account of a particular word (or scriptural passage) (to that effect)'.⁴ 1 ŚK.
