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

[SŪ. 3. 3. 39. 664 VEDĀNTA-PĀRIJĀTA-SAURABHA ADH. 17.] spreading out (“tana”) (bliss and release for the devotees) and so on”.¹ SŪTRA 39 “ON ACCOUNT OF CARE, THERE IS NON-OMISSION.” Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha There is no negation of the attributes of having true desires and so on, recorded “carefully”, since the negation: “There is no plurality here” (Bṛh. 4.4.19; Kaṭha 4 11 ²) refers to the things not having Brahman for their essence. Vedānta-kaustubha It may be objected: The statement, made above, that the group of attributes like ‘being the controller’ and so on, mentioned in the Vājasaneyaka, is to be inserted in the Chāndogya, is not justifiable. In accordance with the text under discussion, viz. “It is to be perceived by the mind alone. There is no plurality here, He gets death after death who perceives here apparent plurality. It is to be looked upon as a unity alone,—this unknowable being” (Bṛh. 4.4.19-20), as well as in accordance with the subsequent text: “This soul is not this, not this” (Bṛh. 4.4.22), we arrive at the conclusion that the Highest is free from distinctions. Hence it is known that like grossness, atomicity and so on, the group of attributes like ‘being the controller’ and so on, is something to be negated. Hence, it should be known that in the Chāndogya too, the group of attributes like having true desires and so on, is something to be negated. This being so, such an absence of attributes is to be included in all the meditations subserving final release.—To this (the author) says: There is “non-omission”, i.e. non-denial, of the attributes of the Highest Brahman, like ‘having true desires’ and so on and ‘being the controller’ and so on, which are incapable of being denied and are taught “carefully” as something new in the texts: “What is within that should be searched for” (Chānd. 8.1.1), “This soul is free from sins, without old age, without death, without grief, without hunger, without thirst, having true desires, having true resolves” ¹ G.B. 3.3.40, pp. 182–184, Chap. 3. ² R.
