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

[sū. 2. 2. 45. ADH. 8 ] VEDĀNTA-KAUSTUBHA 387 the causality of Śakti is not to be accepted by one who is desirous of salvation. Hence, it is established that the concordance of the scriptural texts with regard to Brahman, Lord Kṛṣṇa, the lord of all and the soul of all, is not contradicted by anything whatsoever. Here ends the section entitled "Impossibility of origin" (8). Here ends the second quarter of the second chapter in the Vedānta- kaustubha, a commentary on the Śārīraka-mīmāṁsā, and composed by the reverend Śrīnivāsa, dwelling under the lotus-feet of the holy Nimbārka, the teacher and founder of the sect of the venerable Sanatkumāra. —————— COMPARISON Śaṁkara Criticism of the Pañca-rātra doctrine concluded: "(The Pañca- rātra doctrine is to be rejected), because it is full of (inner) contradic- tions; and (because it contains passages opposed to the Veda)".¹ Rāmānuja Right conclusion, in defence of the Pañca-rātra doctrine, ends here. "(The above objection cannot be raised) on account of the contradiction (i.e. becasue the Pañca-rātra doctrine itself controverts that the individual soul has an origin".² Bhāskara This sūtra is not found in his commentary Śrīkaṇṭha Criticism of the Pañca-rātra doctrine concluded : "(In reply to the above prima facie view, we point out although the contradiction with regard to the origin of the individual soul and the rest set aside by the above view, yet the Pañca-rātra doctrine is not to be accounted) on account of its opposition (to Scripture).³
