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

[sū. 2. 3 51. ADH 12.] VEDĀNTA-KAUSTUBHA 447 him "(The individual souls, though similar in their essential nature, are yet different from one another) on account of the non-determinate- ness (i e. non-similarity) of (their) destinies".¹ SŪTRA 51 “AND IT IS SO EVEN WITH REGARD TO DETERMINATION AND THE LIKE ” Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha There is no restriction "even with regard to determinations and the like", such as: 'I shall do this and not that'. Vedānta-kaustubha To the argument, viz. A restriction is possible, viz. the unseen principle belongs to one who has the determination: 'I shall do this and not that',—the author replies here: “Determination” means resolution. By the phrase “and the like” reverence and so on are understood. There is, indeed, no restriction with regard to the unseen principle even in the case of resolution, reverence and the rest COMPARISON Baladeva This is sūtra 51 in his commentary. He continues the same theme, viz. “And thus (the individual souls are different) with regard to (their) desire and the rest also”. That is, adṛṣṭa or the unseen principle is the ultimate cause which determines the difference between the souls, and not their desires, inclinations and the like, which are only the secondary causes.² 1 G.B. 2.3.49, p. 229, Chap. 2. 2 G.B. 2.3.50, p. 230, Chap. 2.
