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

[SŪ. 4. 2. 2. ADH. 1.] VEDĀNTA-KAUSTUBHA 809 Śrīkaṇṭha He also holds that when Scripture says that speech merges in the mind, it means that the function of speech merges in the mind ¹ Baladeva He is of the opinion that both the organ of speech itself and its function are connected with the mind ² SŪTRA 2 "FOR THESE VERY REASONS, ALL AFTER (SPEECH)." Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha "After" speech, all the sense-organs merge in the mind, on account of that being observed and on account of the scriptural text: "With the sense-organs merged in the mind" (Praśna 3.9 ³). Vedānta-kaustubha "For these very reasons," i.e. on account of observation and on account of scriptural text, "after" the organ of speech, all the sense- organs, too, merge in the mind. The fact observed, to begin with, is just the same as before.⁴ The scriptural text, on the other hand, is as follows: "Hence he whose heat has ceased attains re-birth with his sense-organs merged in the mind" (Praśna 3 9). Hence it is established that the sense-organs like speech and the rest are united with the mind. Here ends the section entitled "Speech" (1). ¹ ŚK. B. 4.2.1, p. 451, Parts 10 and 11. ² G.B. 4.2.1. ³ Ś, R, Bh, ŚK. ⁴ Viz. that the mind continues to function even when the function of the organ ceases.
