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

[SŪ. 3. 3. 28. 630 VEDĀNTA-PĀRIJĀTA-SAURABHA ADH. 12.] SŪTRA 28 "ACCORDING TO INTENTION, ON ACCOUNT OF THE NON-CONTRA- DICTION OF BOTH." Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha The friend and the enemy of a knower get respectively his merits and demerits "according to intention",—thus both become freo from contradiction. Vedānta-kaustubha The good and bad deeds, performed by a knower, go to others "accordmg to intention", i.e. according to resolution, "on account of the non-contradiction of both". A causeless discarding, by parts, of his own deeds to others is inconsistent on the part of a knower who is impartial; and a causcless appropriating of the good and bad deeds, performed by others, too, is inconsistent on the part of any one. One who acting in a friendly manner, wishes the knower good, obtains the merits of the knower for that very reason But one, who acting in an unfriendly manner, wishes the knower ill, obtains the demerits of the knower for that very reason. Thus, if the good and evil deeds go (to the friend and the enemy) in accordance with their intontions, the discarding and tho appropriating come to be free from contradiction. So Smṛti declares: "The sin of one who is being cursed goos to one who is cursing". It has beon said by the reverend Manu as well: "Having left his good deeds to his dear relatives, and his bad deeds to those not dear, he goes to Brahman, the eternal, through the path of meditation" (Manu. 6 7.9¹). COMPARISON Śaṁkara Interpretation different: "(The soul may attain knowledge) according to (its) likmg (only so long as it has a body); (our view is preferable) on account of the non-contradiction of both". That is, a disembodied soul cannot evidently undergo the requisites and so on for attaining knowledge, but an embodied being alone can do so according to its own liking. Hence, if the works of a knower still persist after the fall of his body, it will not be possible for him ¹ P. 225.
