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

{sū. 3. 3 11. ADH. 4.] VEDĀNTA-KAUSTUBHA 597 where the same, and hence the special features mentioned in one place are to be ascribed to others ¹ Baladeva This is sūtra 11 in his commentary. He takes this sūtra as forming an adhikarana by itself, concerned with an entirely different topic, viz the acts of the Lord Hence the sūtra: "(The acts of the Lord, viz. the deeds performed by him in His infancy and so on are eternal) on account of the non-difference of all (viz. of the Lord and His companions) they (manifest themselves) elsewhere (i.e. in another place and time)". That is, the Lord and His companions, viz. the freed souls, exist subsequently in other places and times and enact the same parts In this sense, those acts of the Lord which He performs through His cit-śakti are eternal, while those acts which He performs through matter and so on are non-eternal ² Adhikarana 4. The section entitled "Bliss". (Sūtras 11–17) SŪTRA 11 "BLISS AND THE REST (ARE TO BE UNDERSTOOD EVERYWHERE), (ON ACCOUNT OF THE NON-DIFFERENCE) OF THE CHIEF." Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha The substratum of attributes (viz. Brahman) being the same, the attributes like "bliss and the rest" are to be inserted in all the meditations on the Highest. Vedānta-kaustubha Now, the question of the combination of the essential attributes of Brahman is being considered. The phrase: 'On account of non-difference' is to be supplied (from the preceding aphorism). On the doubt, viz. whether the attributes of Brahman, such as, bliss and the rest, are to be included in all meditations on Brahman or not—the suggestion is: these attributes are not to be so included, because the texts of every Vedānta are ¹ Ś.B. 3.3.10, p. 770; Bh. B. 3.3.10, p. 171; ŚK. B. 3.3.10, pp. 298 ff. ² G.B. 3.3.11, pp. 130–133, Chap. 3.
