[sū. 3. 4. 28. ADH. 7 ] VEDĀNTA-PĀRIJĀTA-SAURABHA 745 thence, again, there is a still greater rise of calmness and so on 1 Hence it is established that one who seeks knowledge must be endowed with calmness and so on. Here ends the section entitled "Calmness, self-control and so on" (6). COMPARISON Śaṃkara The word "tathāpi" interpreted differently, viz. even if it be granted that the text about sacrifices and so on (Bṛh. 4.4.22) contain no injunction and the rest It is shown later on that the above text is really injunctive. He does not take it as constituting an adhikaraṇa by itself, but as included under the previous one.2 Adhikaraṇa 7: The section entitled "The per- mission of all food" (Sūtras 28-31) SŪTRA 28 "AND THE PERMISSION OF ALL FOOD (IS VALID) IN THE EVENT OF DANGER TO LIFE, ON ACCOUNT OF THAT BEING SEEN." Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha The permission of all food in the text: "Verily, to one who knows thus, there is nothing whatever that is not food" (Chānd. 5.2.1 3), is valid only "in the event of danger to life", for Cākrāyaṇa ate the leavings of a rich man when his life was in danger, this being found in Scripture. 1 I.e. calmness and the rest produce (1) attention, which produces (2) knowledge; while works first produce (1) mental purity, which produces (2) attention, which finally produces (3) knowledge. Hence, the former are more direct means to knowledge than the latter. Further, calmness, and the rest are both causes and effects, i.e. they give rise to knowledge, but when knowledge has originated, it in its turn produces a greater degree of calmness and so on. 2 Ś.B. 3.4.27, pp. 876-877. 3 Ś, R, Bh, ŚK, B.
