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

[SŪ. 4. 1. 19. 804 VEDĀNTA-PĀRIJĀTA-SAURABHA ADH. 11.] COMPARISON Śaṃkara He takes this sūtra as forming an adhikarana by itself, concerned with the question of the two kinds of Agni-hotra, with or without knowledge, and points out that the former, of course, has a greater capability of producing knowledge, yet the latter too is not absolutely ineffective, but helps the rise of knowledge.¹ Bhāskara He omits this sūtra, pointing out that it is merely superfluous.² Baladeva He continues here the topic of the immediate destruction of the prārabdha-karmas of some nirapekṣa devotees, and points out that since the celebrated Chāndogya text (Chānd. 1 1.10) shows the great potency of vidyā, it is possible that through the grace of vidyā even the prārabdha-karmas may be destroyed at once.³ Adhikaraṇa 11: The section entitled "The destruction of others". (Sūtra 19) SŪTRA 19 "BUT HAVING DESTROYED THE OTHER TWO BY ENJOYMENT, THEN (HE) ATTAINS (BRAHMAN) " Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha "But having destroyed" the good and evil deeds, the effects of which have already begun, "by enjoyment", he "attains" Brahman. Here ends the first quarter of the fourth chapter in the Vedānta- pārijāta-saurabha, an interpretation of the Śārīraka-mīmāṃsā texts by the reverend Nimbārka. ¹ Ś B. 4.1.18, pp. 925-926. ² Bh.
