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

[sū. 2. 1. 25. ADH 9.] VEDĀNTA-PĀRIJĀTA-SAURABHA 305 powers, omniscient, omnipotent and having true resolves, creates the whole group of effects through a mere wish. Hence, it is established that no contradiction is involved in our view simply because certain well-known implements are found employed in ordinary creations. Here ends the section entitled "The observation of collection" (8). COMPARISON Baladeva This is sūtra 25 in his commentary. Interpretation different, viz. (The Lord though invisible, is the creator of the world,) just as the gods too (though invisible, are seen to work) in the world, (i.e. to produce rain and so on).¹ Adhikaraṇa 9: The section entitled "The con- sequence of the entire". (Sūtras 25-30) PRIMA FACIE VIEW (Sūtra 25) SŪTRA 25 "(IF BRAHMAN BE THE MATERIAL CAUSE OF THE WORLD, THERE WILL BE) THE CONSEQUENCE OF THE ENTIRE (BRAHMAN BEING TRANSFORMED INTO THE WORLD), OR THE VIOLATION OF THE TEXT ABOUT (BRAHMAN'S) HAVING NO PARTS." Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha An objection is raised:— If Brahman be the material cause of the world, then if He be admitted to be without parts, there will be the "consequence of the entire" (Brahman being transformed into the world); if possessed of parts, then the scriptural texts about His having no parts will be contradicted. 1 G.B. 2.1.25. 20
