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

310 VEDĀNTA-PĀRIJĀTA-SAURABHA [SŪ. 2. 1. 27. ADH 9.] Rāmānuja Interpretation of the word "śabda-mūlatvāt" different,—viz. (The fact that Brahman is possessed of various powers) is based on Scripture 1 According to Nimbārka, it means, as we have seen, "(The fact that Brahman creates the world, yet remains untransformed) is based on Scripture" 2, while according to Śrīnivāsa '(The fact that transformation means nothing but projection of powers) is based on Scripture. Baladeva This is sūtra 27 in his commentary, viz. "(But the above objection does not apply to the case of the Lord, the real creator) on account of Scripture, because (the knowledge of Brahman) is based on Scrip- ture".3 ————— CORRECT CONCLUSION (continued) SŪTRA 27 “AND SINCE THESE VARIOUS (MODIFICATIONS) (ARE SEEN) IN THE SOUL ALSO.” Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha When various modifications are appropriate on the part of indivi- dual souls, like gods and the rest, how can they possibly be inappro- priate on the part of the omnipotent Lord of all, the cause of the universe? Vedānta-kaustubha The author is confirming the stated view on the rule of 'how much more'! No wonder that if the creation of the world be due to one who is possessed of true resolves, of inconceivable and infinite powers, and is unchangeable by nature, then faults like entire creator being trans- formed and so on never result,—"since", i e. because "in the soul too", i.e. in the individual soul which has come to attain lordship, "this", i.e. without there resulting any faults like entire transforma- tion, "various" creations are seen in accordance with its own power. ————— 1 Śrī.
