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

[sū. 1. 2. 33. ADH. 7.] VEDĀNTA-PĀRIJĀTA-SAURABHA 141 The imagining of the worshippers as the sacrificial altar and the rest is for the purpose of effecting an "identification" of Agni-hotra with the offering to the vital-breath, which is a subsidiary element of the Vaiśvānara-vidyā, practised by the worshippers of Vaiśvānara, — "so" the teacher "Jaimini" thinks. "For thus", i.e. this very identification of the offering to the vital-breath and the Agni-hotra, "Scripture shows" in the following passage. 'Now, he who offers the Agni-hotra knowing this thus, his offering is made to all the worlds, to all beings, to all selves' (Chānd. 5.24 2). COMPARISON Baladeva The interpretation of the word 'sampatteḥ' different, viz 'on account of mysterious power or lordliness'. Hence the sūtra · '(The Lord is said to be of the measure of a span) on account of (His) mysterious power, so Jaimini (thinks), for thus Scripture shows (viz that the Lord is possessed of such powers)'.¹ SŪTRA 33 "AND THEY RECORD THIS IN THAT." Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha "And they record" "this", i.e. Vaiśvānara having the heaven as his head and so on, as a Person in the body of the worshipper. Here ends the second quarter of the first chapter in the Vedānta- pārijāta-saurabha, an interpretation of the Śārīraka-mīmāṁsā texts and composed by the Reverend Nimbārka Vedānta-kaustubha And moreover, the Vājins "record" "this", i.e. the Lord Vaiśvā- nara, "in that", i.e. in the body of the worshipper, in the passage · 'He who knows this Vaiśvānara fire as a man, abiding within man' (Śat. Br. 10.6.1.11). That is to say, these too, viz. his being a person, ¹ G.B. 1.2.32, p. 142, Chap. 1.
