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

[sū. 3. 2. 36. ADH. 7.] VEDĀNTA-PĀRIJĀTA-SAURABHA 567 COMPARISON All others add a “ca” at the end, thus “Upapatteś ca” Śaṃkara and Bhāskara Interpretation different, viz. In answer to the objection (stated under sūtra 31), viz. that there is something other than Brahman, since during deep sleep the individual soul is said to enter into Brahman —which implies a difference between the two,—it is pointed out here that such a relation between the individual soul and Brahman is appropriate, since it does not imply that the individual soul is related to Brahman as a man to a city, (according to Bhāskara, as a rope to a pot), i.e. externally, but that the two are really identical. Hence it is that the individual soul is said to enter into itself during deep sleep.¹ Baladeva This is sūtra 36 in his commentary. Here he concludes the topic of the different manifestations of the Lord in accordance with the different kinds of devotion thus: “And on account of the appropriate- ness (of the Chānd. text 3.14 1)”. That is, the text: “As you meditate, so you become” is explicable only on this view, viz. that the devotees realize the Lord differently in accordance with their different modes of worshipping Him ² CORRECT CONCLUSION (continued) SŪTRA 36 “LIKEWISE, ON ACCOUNT OF THE DENIAL OF ANOTHER.” Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha “Likewise,” it is not to be said that on account of the designation of difference, viz. “That which is beyond that” (Śvet. 3.10 ³), there is a reality other than Brahman,—“on account of the denial”, viz. “Than whom there is nothing else whatsoever higher” (Śvet. 3.9 ; Mahānār. 10.4 ⁴). ¹ Ś.B. 3.2.35, p. 748, Bh.
