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

[SŪ. 4. 1. 17. 802 VEDĀNTA-KAUSTUBHA ADH. 10.] "Other than those" works which are productive of knowledge, there are "also" good and bad works the results of which have been obstructed by some works of greater strength. "As" some works are undertaken for the sake of selfish ends and what is prohibited is performed through thoughtlessness,¹ so the text "of some", desig- nating the division "of both" merit and demerit, refer to these above works only. The declaration of non-clinging and destruction, viz "The friends the good deeds, the enemies the bad deeds" should be known to be referring to those works COMPARISON Śaṃkara and Bhāskara They interpret the word "ubhayayoḥ" differently, viz.

Hence the sūtra: "Because other than this (viz. the Chāndogya text) (there is) another (text of Śāṭyāyanins) also, (there is the destruction) of both (good and evil prārabdha-karmas in the case of some nirapekṣa devotees)". That is, the Chāndogya text (Chānd. 6.14.2) declares that a man has to wait until those works the effects of which have already begun to operate are exhausted. But this rule does not hold good in the case of some nirapekṣa devotees, where, as declared by the text of the Śāṭyāyanins, even their prārabdha good and evil deeds go to their friends and foes respectively. Thus, some nirapekṣa devotees 1 All these works are other than those which produce knowledge. 2 Ś.B. 4.1.17, p. 925; Bh. B. 4.1.7, p. 226. 3 Śrī. B. 4 1.17, p. 418, Part 2; ŚK.
