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

[sū. 2. 3 52. ADH. 12.] VEDĀNTA-KAUSTUBHA 449 COMPARISON Baladeva This is sūtra 51 in his commentary. The same topic continued : "If it be objected (that the difference among the individual souls is) due to the difference of (their) environments, (we reply :) no, because (the difference of environments, such as heaven, hell, and different lots in the world) are included under (i.e. due to) adṛṣṭa". That is, finally, adṛṣṭa or the unseen principle is the cause of the difference among the souls.¹ Résumé The third quarter of the second chapter contains—

1. 52 sūtras and 12 adhikaraṇas, according to Nimbārka ;
2. 53 sūtras and 17 adhikaraṇas, according to Śaṃkara ;
3. 52 sūtras and 7 adhikaraṇas, according to Rāmānuja ;
4. 53 sūtras and 17 adhikaraṇas, according to Bhāskara ;
5. 52 sūtras and 12 adhikaraṇas, according to Śrīkaṇṭha,
6. 51 sūtras and 11 adhikaraṇas, according to Baladeva. Śaṃkara and Bhāskara break each of the sūtras 3 and 26 in Nimbārka's commentary into two different ones, and omit sūtra 11. Rāmānuja and Śrīkaṇṭha break sūtra 5 in Nimbārka's com- mentary into two different sūtras, and take sūtras 33 and 34 in it as one sūtra, reversing the order. Baladeva omits sūtra 11 in Nimbārka's commentary.
