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

428 VEDĀNTA-PĀRIJĀTA-SAURABHA [SŪ. 2. 3. 34-35 ADH. 10.] wherever he wishes' (Bṛh. 4 3 12), 'He moves around in his own body as desired' (Bṛh. 2.1.18), the individual soul is an agent,—this is the sense. COMPARISON Rāmānuja and Śrīkaṇṭha They take this sūtra and the next as one sūtra by reversing the order and adding a "ca" thus "Upādānāt vihāropadeśāc ca".¹ SŪTRA 34 "ON ACCOUNT OF TAKING." Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha Because of the scriptural mention of the taking (by the soul) thus: 'So exactly he, having taken the senses' (Bṛh. 2.1.18). Vedānta-kaustubha On account of the scriptural mention of the taking (by the soul) in the passage which introduces the topic thus: 'Just as a king', and continues: 'So exactly does he, having taken these senses' (Bṛh 2.1.18), 'Having taken by his intelligence of these senses' (Bṛh. 2.1.17), the individual soul is an agent. SŪTRA 35 "ALSO ON ACCOUNT OF THE DESIGNATION (OF THE SOUL AS AN AGENT) WITH REGARD TO ACTIONS, OTHERWISE, (THERE WILL BE) REVERSAL OF DESCRIPTION." Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha "Also on account of the designation (of the soul) as an agent" thus: 'Understanding performs a sacrifice' (Tait. 2 5 ²), the soul is an agent. If by the word 'understanding' buddhi be understood and not the individual soul, the instrumental case would have been used ³ 1 Śrī. B., p. 152, Part 2; Śk. B, p. 153, Parts 7 and 8. 2 Ś, R, Bh, Śk, B. 3 I.e. the instrumental case 'vijñānena' would have been used.
