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

[sū. 2. 1. 31. ADH. 10] VEDĀNTA-PĀRIJĀTA-SAURABHA 317 ‘“I have no duties, whatsoever, O Pārtha, in the three world, nor anything unattained to be attained; yet I abide in action”’ (Gītā 3 22). Hence it is established that the above-mentioned faults pertain to the opponent's view alone, but not to the conclusion estab- lished by the Vedānta. Here ends the section entitled “The consequence of the entire” (9). COMPARISON Baladeva This is sūtra 31 in his commentary. The interpretation of the phrase “tad uktam” different, viz.· “that has been answered (by Scripture itself)”. That is the very same Upanisad (viz. Śvetāśva- tara) which has been quoted by the opponent in support of his allegation that the Lord, devoid of sense-organs (viz. Śvet. 6 8), cannot act, answers to the objection by pointing out that though devoid of sense-organs, He can yet act (viz. Śvet. 3.19 ¹) Adhikarana 10: The section entitled “Having a need”. (Sūtras 31–35) PRIMA FACIE VIEW (Sūtra 31) SŪTRA 31 “(BRAHMAN IS) NOT (THE CAUSE OF THE WORLD), ON ACCOUNT OF (THE ACTIVITY OF AN AGENT) HAVING A NEED.” Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha It may be objected: The Supreme Being who has all His desires eternally fulfilled, is not an agent. Why? “On account of the activity of an agent having a need.” ¹ G B 2.1.31, p. 67, Chap. 2.
