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

[SŪ. 3. 3 5. ADH. 1 ] VEDĀNTA-KAUSTUBHA 583 SŪTRA 5 "AND (THE VIDYĀS) BEING THE SAME, (THERE IS) COMBINATION (OF THE SPECIAL FEATURES), ON ACCOUNT OF THE NON-DIFFERENCE OF MEANING AS IN THE CASE OF WHAT IS COMPLEMENTARY TO INJUNCTION." Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha The vidyās being identical, and their meaning being the same, their special features are to be combined together, "as in the case of what is complementary to the injunction" with regard to the Agni-hotra and the like. Vedānta-kaustubha The identity of the vidyās being thus established, the author explains its purpose. "And" meditations "being the same", their special features are to be combined together. The sense is that the special features or details found in one vidyā are to be applied to others as well, "on account of the non-difference of meaning", i.e. on account of the unity of purpose. "As in case of what is complementary to injunction," i e. just as there is the combination everywhere of what is complementary to the injunctions regarding the Agni- hotra and the rest,—like that.¹ Hence it is established that on account of the non-difference of injunctions and the rest, vidyās or meditations are the same, and that their special features are to be combined together. Here ends the section entitled "The understanding in all the Vedāntas" (1) Śaṁkara, Bhāskara and Śrīkaṇṭha They take this sūtra as forming an adhikaraṇa by itself. Inter- pretation same. ¹ I.e. in the Karma-Kāṇḍa, the special features or aṅgas of a sacrifice are mentioned in various places and not in the same place; yet when the sacrifice is performed, all these scattered features and details are combined. Similarly, the special details of a particular vidyā or meditation may be mentioned in various places; yet when it is practised, all these details are to be brought together.
