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

[sū. 1. 2. 14. ADH. 4.] VEDĀNTA-PĀRIJĀTA-SAURABHA 113 rest, mentioned in the sacred text: ‘They call this “the uniter of all lovely things” ¹, because all lovely things come together to him’ (Chānd 4 15.2), ‘He is also “the leader to all blessing” ² because he leads to all blessings’ (Chānd. 4.15.3), ‘He also is “the leader to light ”³, because he shines in all the worlds’ (Chānd. 4.15.4), “fit in” in the case of the Supreme Soul alone. ‘Saṃyadvāma’ implies one from whom the ‘vāmas’, i.e. the fruits of karmas ‘come together’, i.e. one who is the cause of the rise of all fruits of karmas. This very thing is stated in the above text thus:—‘Because’, i.e. since, ‘the lovely things’ ‘come together’, i.e. arise from ‘this’, i.e. the Person within the eye, the cause. In the text ‘He is also the ‘vāmanī’, the ‘vāmanī’ implies one who ‘leads’, i.e causes people, to attain the ‘vāmas’ or auspicious objects. This very thing is stated in the passage. ‘Because he leads to all blessings’. In the text ‘He also is the bhāmanī’, the ‘bhāmanī’ implies one who leads to the ‘bhāmas’, i.e. one who manifests all objects. This very thing is stated in the text ‘Because he shines in all the worlds’,—this is the meaning of the text. SŪTRA 14 “AND ON ACCOUNT OF THE DESIGNATION OF PLACE.” Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha “And on account of the designation of the place” of the Supreme Soul, in the text: ‘He who abiding within the sun’ (Bṛh. 3.7.18 ⁴), the Person within the sun is none but He. Vedānta-kaustubha To the objection, viz. How can an all-pervading being be designated as occupying a small locality, the reverend author of the aphorisms replies here: The Person within the eye can be the Supreme Soul alone. Why? “On account of the designation of place”, i.e. because of the designa- tion of the abode of the Lord, the Highest Person alone, the cause of all causes, the inner soul of all, and the object to be meditated by all, because one who occupies one part cannot properly dwell in another. ¹ Saṃyadvāma. ² Vāmanī. ³ Bhāmanī. ⁴ Ś, R, Bh, ŚK, B. 8
