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

[SŪ. 4. 2. 20. 834 VEDĀNTA-KAUSTUBHA ADH. 11.] Here ends the second quarter of the fourth chapter of the holy Vedānta-kaustubha, a commentary on the Śārīraka-mīmāṁsa texts by the reverend teacher Śrīnivāsa, dwelling under the lotus-feet of the holy Nimbārka, the founder and teacher of the sect of the reverend Sanatkumāra. COMPARISON Śaṁkara He gives two explanations of the word "smārte", viz these two rules regarding dying by day and so on are mentioned in Smṛti alone, but what holds good in Smṛti does not necessarily hold good in Scrip- ture. The second explanation is like Nimbārka's.¹ This is sūtra 21 in his commentary. Bhāskara His explanation of the word "smārte" is like Śaṁkara's first explanation.² Résumé The second quarter of the fourth chapter contains: (1) 20 sūtras and 11 adhikaraṇas, according to Nimbārka; (2) 21 sūtras and 11 adhikaraṇas, according to Śaṁkara; (3) 20 sūtras and 11 adhikaraṇas, according to Rāmānuja; (4) 20 sūtras and 11 adhikaraṇas, according to Bhāskara, (5) 20 sūtras and 9 adhikaraṇas, according to Śrīkaṇṭha; (6) 21 sūtras and 10 adhikaraṇas, according to Baladeva. Śaṁkara and Baladeva break sūtra 21 in Nimbārka's commentary into two separate sūtras. 1 Ś.B. 4.2.21, pp. 945-46. 2 Bh. B 4.2.20, p. 233.
