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

[SŪ. 1. 3. 44. 210 VEDĀNTA-PĀRIJĀTA-SAURABHA ADH. 10.] SŪTRA 44 “ON ACCOUNT OF WORDS LIKE ‘LORD’ AND THE REST.” Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha On account of the designation of the Supreme Soul as different from the individual soul by the texts: ‘The Lord of all’ (Bṛh. 4.4.22, 5.6.1 ¹), ‘The ruler of all’ (Bṛh. 4.4.22 ²), it is established that He alone is the ether. Here ends the third section of the first chapter in the Vedānta- pārijāta-saurabha, an interpretation of the Śārīraka-mīmāṁsā- texts composed by the reverend Nimbārka. Vedānta-kaustubha The author dwells on the difference between the individual soul and Brahman. There is indeed a difference between the individual soul and the Supreme Soul. Why? “On account of words like ‘lord’ and the rest”, i.e. on account of texts like: ‘The Lord of all’ (Bṛh. 4.4.22, 5.6.1), ‘The controller of all’ (Bṛh. 4.4.22), ‘The ruler of all’ (Bṛh. 4.4.22), ‘He rules all this’ (Bṛh. 5 6 1), ‘He is the Lord of all’ (Bṛh. 4 4 22) and so on Though already shown above, we shall speak of this difference- non-difference in detail later on ³. Hence, it is established that on account of the designation of the Lord as something different and so on, the meaning of the term ‘ether’ is none but the Supreme Lord. Here ends the section entitled ‘Something different’ (10). Here ends the third section of the first chapter in the Vedānta- kaustubha, a commentary on the Śārīraka-mīmāṁsā, and composed by the reverend teacher Śrīnivāsa. ¹ Ś, R, Bh, ŚK, B. ² Op. cit. ³ Vide e.g. V.K. 1 4.9, 1.4 20, 1 4 21, 2.1 13, 2 1.21, etc.
