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

[sū. 3. 2. 6. ADH. 1.] VEDĀNTA-KAUSTUBHA 515 Baladeva Interpretation different, viz. "But through the wish of the Highest, (the dream consciousness is) sublated, for from that its bondage and (its) reverse (arise)." That is, if it be objected that dreams must be unreal, since the dream-consciousness is sublated by the waking-consciousness, the reply is that the dream-objects are withdrawn by the wish of the Lord alone. Since the Lord can cause the bondage and release of the soul, there is nothing strange in His creating and withdrawing the dream-objects Hence the dream- objects are not unreal, simply because they are sublated.¹ CORRECT CONCLUSION (end) SŪTRA 6 "OR THAT (RESULTS) ALSO FROM THE CONNECTION WITH THE BODY." Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha And "that" obscuration takes place by way of its connection with nescience. Vedānta-kaustubha "That also," i.e. the obscuration of the soul's attributes of having true resolves and the rest, arises through its "connection with the body" at the time of creation, and through its connection with prakṛti at the time of dissolution The sense is that the Lord, who takes into consideration the deeds of the soul, purposely conceals the form of the soul which, as a part of Himself, is endowed with the attributes of having true resolves and the rest,—and this He does by connecting the soul with prakṛti in its effected and causal states. Hence it is established that the dream-objects, conforming to the deeds of particular souls and to be enjoyed by them respectively, are created by the Lord, and not by the individual soul. Here ends the section entitled "The intermediate place" (1). ¹ G B. 3.2 5, p. 45, Chap 3
