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

[SŪ. 3. 4. 14. ADH 1.] VEDĀNTA-KAUSTUBHA 725 Vedānta-kaustubha To the objection "On account of restriction" (Br. Sū. 3.4 7), we reply It cannot be said on the ground of the text: "Only doing work here" (Īśā 2) that knowledge is a subsidiary part of work. Why? "On account of non-specification," i.e. because the text contains no specification, viz.: 'knowers doing work' and so on. CORRECT CONCLUSION (continued) SŪTRA 14 "OR THE PERMISSION (OF WORK) IS FOR THE PURPOSE OF EULOGY." Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha The allowing of work to one who knows, viz. "only doing work here" (Īśā 2), is "for the purpose of eulogizing" knowledge. Vedānta-kaustubha To the objection, viz Since the text begins with knowledge thus: "By the Lord all this is to be enveloped. Whatever is moving in this moving world, having that renounced, enjoy. Do not covet the wealth of any one" (Īśā 1), it is ascertained that it is specially concerned with the knower,-(the author) says: "The permission," i.e. allowing of, work to a knower is "for the purpose of eulogizing" knowledge. Though doing work so long as he lives, a knower is not touched by karmas,-thus there is an eulogy of knowledge here, in accordance with the concluding text: "Thus, work adheres not to you, to a man, there is no other way than that" (Īśā 2), as well as in accordance with the statement by the Lord. '"Though ever doing all works, one who has resorted to me, attains the eternal and immutable place through my grace"' (Gītā 18.56), '"He who thus knows me is not bound by works"' (Gītā 4.14) and so on.
