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

[SŪ. 3. 3 61. ADH. 26 ] VEDĀNTA-KAUSTUBHA 707 COMPARISON Baladeva This is sūtra 64 in his commentary. He reads “Śiṣṭaiś Ca” instead of “Śiṣṭeś Ca”. He continues here the topic of the meditation on the limbs of the Lord. Hence the sūtra: “And (such a meditation is performed) by those who are taught”.¹ ——— PRIMA FACIE VIEW (continued) SŪTRA 61 “AND ON ACCOUNT OF COMBINATION” Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha And on account of the performance together of the praṇava and the udgītha, in accordance with the text: ‘From the seat of the Hotṛ² simply, he sets right the wrong utterances of the udgītha” (Chānd. 1.5.5³). Vedānta-kaustubha “And on account of the combination,” i.e. performance together, of the praṇava, mentioned in the Ṛg-veda, and udgītha, mentioned in the Sāma-veda, in accordance with the text: “From the seat of the Hotṛ simply, he sets right the wrong utterances of the udgītha” (Chānd. 1.5.5), it is known that there is a regular inclusion of meditation in sacrificial acts. Owing to the potency of the combination of the praṇava and the udgītha, the priest who chants the udgītha sets right the ‘bad udgītha’, i.e. that udgītha which, though chanted by himself, has been chanted wrongly owing to the lack of his proper knowledge of accents and so on, ‘from the seat of the Hotṛ’, i.e. by means of the work of the Hotṛ, viz. the act of reciting,—this is the meaning of the scriptural text. ¹ G.B. 3.3.64, p. 230, Chap. 3. ² One of the four kinds of officiating priests who recites the Ṛgveda. ³ Ś, R, Bh, Śk.
