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

[SŪ. 2 2. 25-26. 360 VEDĀNTA-PĀRIJĀTA-SAURABHA ADH. 3] mind, and all the sense-organs, the ether, the air, the light, water and the earth, the supporter of all” (Muṇḍ. 2.1 3) The substantiality of the ether was approved by the Buddha as well, who said out of compassion: ‘As long as there is the existence of the ether, and as long as there is the existence of the world, so long may there be the existence of me, the destroyer of the sufferings of the world’. COMPARISON Bhāskara This is sūtra 23 in Bhāskara ¹ Interpretation of the word “aviśeṣāt” different; viz. “from the same (scriptural text, viz. Tait. 2 1)” it is known that the ether like the air and the rest, arises from the soul.² SŪTRA 25 “AND ON ACCOUNT OF REMEMBRANCE.” Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha And on account of the recognition, viz ‘This is that’, this doctrine is untrue. Vedānta-kaustubha For this too the doctrine of momentariness is not reasonable. Why? “On account of remembrance”, i.e on account of the remem- brance of an entity, perceived by one. Hence an eternal soul, the experiencer, must of necessity be acknowledged, otherwise the cessation of all practical activities will result. —————— SŪTRA 26 “(THERE CAN BE NO ORIGINATION) FROM THE NON-EXISTENT, BECAUSE OF NON-OBSERVATION.” Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha An entity does not arise from a non-entity, “on account of non- observation”. ¹ Written as sūtra 2.2.24 in conformity with Śaṃkara’s number. ² Bh. B. 2.2.23, p. 121.
