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

[sū. 3. 3. 9. ADH. 2.] VEDĀNTA-KAUSTUBHA 591 COMPARISON Baladeva This is sūtra 9 in his commentary. Here he concludes the topic that in the case of the ekāntin devotees, there is no combination of all the attributes of the Lord. Hence the sūtra: "If it be objected that on account of (the similarity of) name (i.e. because both the svaniṣṭha and ekāntin are called 'worshipper of Brahman') (the ekāntin, too, must be called 'worshipper of Brahman') (the ekāntin, too, must meditate on all the attributes of the Lord), (we reply,) that has been said (under the previous sūtra), on the contrary, there is that¹" That is, there is an instance to the effect, viz. the meditation on the golden Person ² and that on the ether ³ have both the name 'udgītha-meditation', yet the attributes of the one are not combined in the other. ————— CORRECT CONCLUSION (end) SŪTRA 9 "AND ON ACCOUNT OF UNIVERSALITY, (IT IS) APPROPRIATE." Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha As the praṇava, mentioned in the beginning, is the object to be meditated on, in all the udgītha-meditations in the Chāndogya, it is "appropriate" that the word 'udgītha', mentioned in the middle in the text: "They took the udgītha" (Chānd. 1.2.1), too should really imply the praṇava. In the Chāndogya the praṇava, a part of the udgītha, is to be meditated on under the aspect of the vital- breath; in the Vājasaneyaka, the entire udgītha,—as such, the vidyās are different.
