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

496 VEDĀNTA-PĀRIJĀTA-SAURABHA [SŪ. 3. 1. 19. ADH 3 ] a body. Why? "Because this is observed, i.e. because it is found in the text: '“Be born and die”',—thus is this third place" (Chānd. 5.10.8) that bodies are attained—even independently of the fifth oblation—by those who have entered into the third place. The sense is that those who perform sacrifices and the rest attain bodies in this world through the successive order, beginning with reverence, moon and so on; and in the case of their attaining bodies, there is a restriction with regard to number, viz "In the fifth oblation water comes to have the speech of man" (Chānd. 5.9.1) But in the case of those who do not perform sacrifices and so on, bodies are generated from water, intermixed with other elements, even without any restriction with regard to the number of oblations,—and not from water which comes in the order of reverence and the rest. By the text: "In the fifth oblation water comes to have the speech of a man" (Chānd 5.9.1), it is proved simply that in the fifth oblation water comes to be denotable by the word 'man', but it is not denied that it cannot come to have the speech of a man in any other way. There is also the absence of any limitation of the kind: 'In the fifth oblation alone water comes to have the speech of a man' CORRECT CONCLUSION (continued) SŪTRA 19 “AND MOREOVER (THIS IS) DECLARED BY SMṚTI IN ORDINARY LIFE.” Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha It is “declared by Smṛti” in the passage “He was born from fire for the destruction of Drona, so it has been heard by us”, and so on, that the bodies of even those who performed sacrifices and the rest, like Dhṛṣṭadyumna and so on, originated even without the fifth oblation. Vedānta-kaustubha In the Mahā-bhārata and the rest it is mentioned that the bodies of even pious workers, like Dhṛṣṭadyumna and so on, originated independently of the fifth oblation. It is declared by Smṛti too: “There arose, from that fire, a god-like prince” (Mahā. 1.63936 ¹), ¹ P. 232, line 24, vol. 1.
