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

{SŪ. 4. 1. 14. ADH. 8] VEDĀNTA-KAUSTUBHA 797 destruction of a knower’s subsequent and prior sins, sprung up from thoughtlessness, are indeed justifiable. Here ends the section entitled “On the attainment of that” (7). Adhikaraṇa 8: The section entitled “The other”.

On account of the designation of that, i.e. just as the evil deeds are designated as rejectible by one desirous of salvation, since they are incompatible with salvation, so the good deeds, too, are likewise
