That is, with regard to the sacrificial acts, the meditations based on the subsidiary parts of sacrificial acts are “of the same nature as their bases”.

COMPARISON Baladeva This is sūtra 63 in his commentary. He too begins an adhikaraṇa here (continuing up to the end of the chapter), but concerned with an altogether different topic, viz. the meditation on the various limbs of the Lord. Hence the sūtra: “In the limbs (of the Lord), (the qualities or gestures), appropriate to them (are to be meditated on)”. That is, one should meditate on the eyes of the Lord benevolent, the face as smiling and so on”.¹ PRIMA FACIE VIEW (continued) SŪTRA 60 “AND ON ACCOUNT OF TEACHING.” Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha And on account of the teaching, viz. “Let one meditate on the udgītha” (Chānd. 1.1.1²), there is a regular inclusion.
