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

FOURTH CHAPTER (Adhyāya) SECOND QUARTER (Pada) Adhikaraṇa 1: The section entitled "Speech" (Sūtras 1 - 2) SŪTRA 1 "SPEECH IN THE MIND, ON ACCOUNT OF OBSERVATION AND ON ACCOUNT OF SCRIPTURAL TEXT." Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha The text: "Speech merges into the mind" (Chānd. 6 8.6 ¹) denotes the merging in, i e. the connection of the organ of speech with, the mind,—since it is found that the function of the mind con- tinues even when the organ of speech has ceased to function; "also on account of the scriptural text": "Speech merges in the mind" (Chānd. 6.8.6). Vedānta-kaustubha It has been said at the end of the previous quarter that the knower attains Brahman. Now, the knower's departure from the body for attaining Brahman and similar problems are being consi- dered. First, the author determines the mode of departure which is common to a knower and a non-knower. The doubt is as to whether in the text: "Of this person, my dear, who has departed, speech merges into the mind, the mind in the vital- breath, the vital-breath in fire, fire in the Highest Divinity" (Chānd. 6.8.6), the merging of the function of speech in the mind is denoted or of speech alone having the function. If it be suggested that the functions of speech and so on are directed to their respective objects by the mind. Hence the merging of the function of speech in the mind stands to reason— We reply: Speech alone having the function merges in the mind. Why? "On account of observation," i.e. the function of the mind ¹ Ś, R, Bh, ŚK, B. ( 807 )
