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

[SŪ. 3. 4 24 738 VEDĀNTA-PĀRIJĀTA-SAURABHA ADH. 3.] account of being specified," i.e. in the text beginning "He is to tell the legends recited at the Aśva-medha" and continuing "Manu, Vivasvat's son, the King" (Śat Br 13 4.3, 3) and so on, certain texts alone are specified as those to be recited at the Aśva-medha. COMPARISON Bhāskara He takes this sūtra and the next as constituting a single sūtra, and reads "pāriplavārtha" instead of "pāriplavārthā" ¹. ——— SŪTRA 24 "AND THIS BEING SO, ON ACCOUNT OF THE CONNECTION (OF THESE STORIES WITH MEDITATION) AS FORMING PART OF A COHERENT WHOLE." Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha This being so, on account of the connection" of other (stories) with injunction,—such as: "Should be seen" (Bṛh. 2.4.5, 4.5.6 ²) and so on—"as forming part of a coherent whole", they subserve the purpose of meditation. Vedānta-kaustubha "And this being so," i.e. all the scriptural stories being not legends to be recited at the Aśva-medha, only some being so, these former scriptural stories subserve the end of the injunction of meditation, "on account of their connection" with injunctions like "O, the self should be seen" (Bṛh. 2.4.5; 4.5.6) and so on, "as forming part of a coherent whole". Hence it is established that the scriptural stories subserve the purpose of the injunction of meditation. Here ends the section entitled "The legends recited at the Aśva-medha" (3). ¹ Bh.
