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

710 VEDĀNTA-PĀRIJĀTA-SAURABHA [SŪ. 3. 3 64. ADH. 26.] such as the udgītha, like those subsidiary parts themselves, is not tenable. Why? "On account of Scripture not declaring (their) accompanying " That is, Scripture declares that the subsidiary parts of sacrifices should always accompany the sacrifices themselves. Compare the text: "Having taken the graha ¹, having raised the camas ², he should begin the stotra ³ (Tait. Sam. 3.1.2, 4 ⁴) But there is no such declaration about the meditations (on the subsidiary parts). COMPARISON Baladeva This is sūtra 67 in his commentary Here he refutes the prima facie view, mentioned in the previous sūtra, thus: "Or not, (i.e. every limb of the Lord is to be meditated on as possessed of its peculiar attributes only), because there is no scriptural text (to the effect that it is to be meditated on) as accompanied by (the attributes of other limbs)".⁵ CORRECT CONCLUSION (end) SŪTRA 64 "AND ON ACCOUNT OF SCRIPTURAL TEXT." Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha This is so also because the scriptural text: "Verily, the Brāhmaṇa priest who knows (or meditates) thus protects the sacrifice, the sacrificer, and all officiating priests" (Chānd. 4.7.10 ⁶) shows that ¹ A graha is a vessel used for taking out a portion of fluid from a larger vessel, especially a vessel used for taking up the soma-juice ² A camasa is a vessel used at sacrifices for drinking the soma-juice. ³ A hymn of praise. ⁴ P. 247, lines 14-15. ⁵ G.B. 3.3.67, p. 232, Chap. 3. ⁶ Ś, R, Bh, Śk.
